Un reto importante para el pensamiento ético, durante las últimas décadas, ha sido cómo justificar la inclusión de organismos y especies no humanas es la esfera de la consideración moral. Son múltiples los trabajos centrados en definir argumentos para dar cuenta de deberes, responsabilidades o compromisos hacia animales, bosques, ríos, mares y ecosistemas. Estos trabajos representan un grupo de concepciones ético-ambientales desde las cuales sustentar un sentido de la obligación ética en un ámbito de relaciones carentes de intersubjetividad y/o simetría. En este libro, a la par que se presentan algunas concepciones ético-ambientales, se intenta desarrollar un marco de comprensión posibilitador de encuentros y diálogos entre dichas concepciones.

This book advances Earth Stewardship toward a planetary scale, presenting a range of ecological worldviews, practices, and institutions in different parts of the world and to use them as the basis for considering what we could learn from one another, and what we could do together. Today, inter-hemispheric, intercultural, and transdisciplinary collaborations for Earth Stewardship are an imperative. Chapters document pathways that are being forged by socio-ecological research networks, religious alliances, policy actions, environmental citizenship and participation, and new forms of conservation, based on both traditional and contemporary ecological knowledge and values. “The Earth Stewardship Initiative of the Ecological Society of America fosters practices to provide a stable basis for civilization in the future. Biocultural ethic emphasizes that we are co-inhabitants in the natural world; no matter how complex our inventions may become” (Peter Raven).
