- Environmental justice constitutes an instrumental element for conservation.
- Environmental Justice is based on the principles of equity, recognition of different values and inclusive decision processes.
- Social equity is the catalyst of ecological effectiveness.
- Conservation measures that ignore the social context imply higher cost and stand the risk of failure in the long term.
