“…Both social and ecological justice supporters have been at pains to work with and support conservation activities and organizations, in part by highlighting the detrimental ecological outcomes of social injustices in conservation contexts (Duffy et al 2013;Shoreman-Ouimet and Kopnina 2015;Sullivan 2015). The continuing dichotomization of social and ecological justice, both intellectually and politically, may serve as the most pressing barrier to progressive change that serves multispecies flourishing (Sullivan 2015). Critical social scientists who are highlighting the social and ecological inconsistencies associated with conservation alliances, point out that policies and practices that entrench economic inequality require globally costly consumption practices (such as tourism and trophy hunting to generate conservation revenue), seem to amplify rather than shift this barrier (Sullivan 2015).…”

SUMMARYThrough the commodification of nature, the framing of the environment as a ‘natural resource’ or ‘ecosystem service’ has become increasingly prominent in international environmental governance. The economic capture approach is promoted by international organizations such as the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) through Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD), Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) and The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB). This paper will inquire as to how forest protection is related to issues of social and ecological justice, exploring whether forest exploitation based on the top-down managerial model fosters an unequitable distribution of resources. Both top-down and community-based approaches to forest protection will be critically examined and a more inclusive ethical framework to forest protection will be offered. The findings of this examination indicate the need for a renewed focus on existing examples of good practice in addressing both social and ecological need, as well as the necessity to address the less comfortable problem of where compromise appears less possible. The conclusion argues for the need to consider ecological justice as an important aspect of more socially orientated environmental justice for forest protection.
