Biodiversity Politics

Biodiversity politics involves the study and negotiation of how societies value and protect the variety of life on Earth, including plants, animals, and ecosystems. It addresses issues like conservation, climate change, and sustainable development. Different stakeholders—governments, local communities, businesses, and activists—often have conflicting interests, making it a complex political arena. Environmental political theory explores these interactions, examining power dynamics, ethical responsibilities, and the impact of policies on both people and nature. Ultimately, it seeks to find effective solutions to protect biodiversity while balancing human needs and environmental health.
