A note in the margins

Marginalium

My commentary on something from elsewhere on the web.

The ideology that is ‘species’. It’s a social constructivist argument, but of course, the distinctions between species are not particularly clear. Yet, this particular arbitration determines a great proportion of our conservation efforts. Are the extinctions of sub-species less important than the extinctions of species? There’s no good answer. It’s just ideologies at work.
