presents   A Talk by Ricardo Rozzi Integrating Social Well-Being and Biocultural Conservation: An Ethical Challenge at the Austral Tip of the Americas Environmental philosophy and conservation biology complement each other by generating a better understanding of ecological systems and our human relationships as components of ecosystems. Many cases throughout Latin America show that the conservation of biological diversity promotes the conservation of cultural diversity and fosters better conditions of life for a constellation of local communities spread through the continent. At a practical level, this argument helps to overcome the prevailing dichotomy between developers and conservationists in Latin America. At a theoretical level this approach helps to integrate the epistemological and the ethical spheres by helping us understand both how we know about nature and how we inhabit it. Rozzi presents the approach undertaken by the Omora Environmental Ethics Center in Puerto Williams, Chile, in the Cape Horn Archipelago Region.
