The Individual Animal is In
In the essay "The Individual Animal Is In", Dr. Gosia Bryja explores a meaningful shift in conservation. The Society for Conservation Biology North America has adopted a definition that expands conservation beyond populations and species to recognize the intrinsic value and interests of individual nonhuman animals.

Humane policy begins when we stop asking only how many animals can be lost and begin asking why any particular animal must suffer or die. -

It may not be easy, but continuing to treat ecological engineers as expendable, rather than essential to resilience, is a risk we can no longer afford. -
