Environmental Justice and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
From the Summer 2024 Fish & Wildlife News
Environmental justice means simply that all people have a right to just treatment and meaningful engagement in activities that affect human health and the environment where they live, work, play, learn, and pray. It means that economic status or race should not be a factor when deciding where to build a pollinator garden and where to put a factory.
As we more clearly merge environmental justice with our standard conservation work, some may wonder whether we have the capacity for both. The truth is we are already doing great work to further both conservation and environmental justice. Take a read:
