“For the rest of nature, a just distribution of resources, opportunities, consequences, and benefits, in keeping with sustainability, means that in stopping bad stuff we don’t take from them what allows them to thrive, a healthy habitat, i.e., their homes and livelihoods. Stopping bad stuff includes: climate impacts; over-harvesting; other forms of damaging and toxic pollution; the introduction of exotic invasives and disease, and; habitat fragmentation, degradation, and destruction.
