Habitats, ecosystems, territories . . . common struggle! - 2016.
9
The concept of ecosystem is multidimensional in nature, in theoretical, practical and symbolic terms. It may be related to the concept of territory, which is equally rich and complex, and to the older but no less rich and no doubt more comprehensive concept of habitat, (all living beings “inhabit” something or somewhere). These multiple dimensions and approximations must be taken into account in any ethical thinking on living beings. Such ethical thinking can be but anthropological, i.e. “anthropocentric,” rather than bio- or eco-centric, and lead to legal and political measures to be implemented by the human community as a whole.
