Global Program, The Biosphere Ethics Initiative

June 15th, 2009

kintzele_gcg 2009Kathryn Kintzele was recently appointed as Deputy Chair of the Ethics Specialist Group (ESG) of the IUCN Commission on Environmental Law. Katy has been active with the ESG since she joined CHN in 2005, alongside founder and colleague Ron Engel and current chair Klaus Bosselmann. Dr. Engel founded the Ethics Working Group in 1984 as an intercommissional working group to advise the Director General of IUCN on how IUCN can play a more effective role in promoting the ethical dimensions of the World Conservation Strategy. Although it is now housed within the Commission on Environmental Law, the ESG continues its cross-disciplinary projects in governance, democracy and biosphere ethics. With CHN, Katy also serves as one of four Co-chairs of the Biosphere Ethics Initiative, a major initiative under the ESG working to create a code of ethics for biodiversity conservation.
