The same justice framework can bridge human and nonhuman realms

Evidence

Realizing this may help us get beyond the divide between environmental and ecological justice, and into a practice of recognition, expanding decision-making, and providing the capacities necessary for individual and community functioning to human and nonhuman alike. — David Schlosberg, Defining Environmental Justice, 13
