Cultivating Our Conservation Ethic

Dr. Marianne Patinelli-Dubay: SUNY ESF Environmental Philosophy Program Coordinator

This week, Dr. Marianne Patinelli-Dubay with SUNY College of Environmental Science & Forestry (ESF) joins us to talk about how we can think through our conservation ethic & philosophy.

Marianne is the Environmental Philosophy Program Coordinator at the Newcomb Campus in the Adirondacks. We talk about forestry and land ethics, public lands and Aldo Leopold. Marianne describes community, virtue and rights ethics.

We talk about science & values, the Adirondack Philosopher’s Camp & how to approach the question “Is hunting ethical?”.
