Asking what really matters, the first section of the book explores the abstract ideas of human value and value in nature. The second section turns to the question of what really works--what it would take to solve our real-world environmental problems.

Environmental Ethics also features first-hand descriptions from people who have actually been involved in wildlife and conservation initiatives.
