On 23 October 2026, Corrado Fizzarotti gave a public talk for the Tuscan regional delegation of MEIC in the Sala Pio X at the Archbishop’s Palace in Pisa. The event introduced different approaches to animal and environmental ethics.
The starting point is a concrete question: when a forest is destroyed, who is wronged? The people who depend on it, the animals living there and the ecological community raise different moral considerations. Distinguishing these reasons helps explain why the same conservation decision may have several justifications, and why the interests of individuals and ecosystems can also conflict.
The discussion connects the vocabulary of moral consideration with the question of continuity between human beings and other living beings. The poster documents the event; the dossiers on Continuità and Mary Midgley offer two routes for further reading.
