Addressing social justice issues in conservation is crucial for creating equitable and effective environmental policies. Many marginalized communities disproportionately bear the impacts of environmental degradation, yet their voices are often excluded from decision-making processes. Integrating social justice principles in conservation ensures that benefits are shared fairly and that the rights of all communities are recognized. This approach fosters collaboration, enhancing the success of conservation initiatives by building trust and local support. By acknowledging social equity as a foundational element of environmental health, conservation efforts can lead to more inclusive and enduring outcomes for both people and ecosystems.
