Take a stand for nature Conserving nature and its benefits is an imperative, not a luxury. In conclusion, we should say a little about what Synchronicity Earth thinks about some of the issues raised in this article. By design we have a team with diverse expertise and views. But we also stand by some clear values. We strongly support the intrinsic value of nature as our basic reason for doing conservation.
It is our love for the wild species on this Earth, and the beauty of its natural habitats, that keeps us motivated every day to fight on behalf of nature. Conservation action is of course highly context-dependent, but we believe that the intrinsic value of nature should nevertheless underpin all the conservation initiatives that we support. However, we also recognize that ecosystem services and natural capital are not abstract or artificial concepts — they are real!
Part of the wonder of nature is the benefits that it brings to people. This is something that we celebrate. Synchronicity Earth is particularly concerned about the forgotten and overlooked species and places that are falling through the cracks of the worldwide conservation effort. We look for the most important needs that are receiving the least funding and support.
This is also why we are developing new programmes on freshwater biodiversity and on threatened Asian species.
Synchronicity Earth seeks to be collaborative with others. This includes supporting organisations that empower local communities to take their own conservation actions, such as the work being done by many of our partners in the Congo Basin supporting community forestry initiatives; and partnering with other donors and conservation organizations to develop new partnerships, such as one we have developed on the Critically Endangered White-bellied Heron in Bhutan and India.
It also means we have partners, rather than grantees — we value the honest and open relationships we develop with our partners, and seek to learn from them about how we can provide the most valuable support. Although we are driven by a strong conservation ethic, we recognize that there are many different views on how to achieve conservation. We try to learn from and with others and to respect those who have different views to us. Within our over-arching conservation ethic, we need to be a broad family, and to embrace each other, to learn, and develop new ideas together.
We try to do this within our organization, and through our partnership with others. Exploring the debate on what does and does not count as conservation The ethics of conservation. Why do we want to conserve nature in the first place?
But what exactly do conservationists need to do? What is conservation in practice, on the ground and in the water? But does conservation actually work? Exploring the evidence for conservation effectiveness. Defining conservation What is conservation? Here the objectives of conservation are given as follows: To maintain essential ecological processes and life support systems To preserve genetic diversity, and To ensure the sustainable utilization of species and ecosystems We could go into a long, academic discussion of the different definitions of conservation, but that is not our purpose here.
Six issues stand out: 1. Show more. Show less. The Ethics of Conservation Why do we bother to conserve anything? Conclusion In conclusion, we should say a little about what Synchronicity Earth thinks about some of the issues raised in this article.
Dr Simon Stuart , Synchronicity Earth. Related Posts. September 1st, August 11th, January 21st, So by protecting nature we also protect the lifesaving drugs we rely upon, including anti-cancer drugs. Simply put, we cannot be healthy in an unhealthy environment.
It is in our own best interests to preserve the natural world as much as we can. The exploitation of the natural world threatens our capacity to provide food and water for the people on earth. And things like pollution are directly harmful to human health. With all of this in mind, we are very proud of the work we do here at Fell End Nature Reserve , so if you would like to pay us a visit to learn more about nature and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of this undisturbed haven, we look forward to welcoming you soon.
