Environmental justice is pivotal in conservation policy as it ensures that all communities, particularly marginalized and low-income groups, have equitable access to natural resources and a healthy environment. It addresses the disproportionate impacts of environmental degradation on vulnerable populations and promotes their participation in decision-making processes. By integrating social equity into conservation efforts, policies can better protect biodiversity while also advocating for the rights and well-being of all individuals. This approach not only enhances conservation outcomes but also fosters sustainable development and community resilience.
