EXTINCTION THE MOTHER OF ALL DEATHS: A PHILOSOPHICAL ESSAY Rogério Martins, Rosaria Montero Velasco, Fabio Giordano

Abstract

From man's first contact with fossils, through evolutionary discussions to the current observation of the disappearance of countless species around the world, the planet has gone from a state of abundance of biological resources to an alarming situation of survival of threatened and unknown species. From the human inability to deal with death, a bias arises discussed through the value of judgment about the imminent extinction of other species on the planet. It proposes an effort based on scientific responsibility to renew the methods of dissemination and create interdisciplinary ties to enhance conservationist actions.
