The spatial paradox of nature conservation.
Nowadays there is a tendency to connect people with nature, but however we keep trying to separate people from it to protect nature with conservation strategies. Conservation strategies for biodiversity also work in the way that we think that substitution of a degraded area with biodiversity destroyed by human actions with protecting a new one somewhere else is a good way of protecting a nature. We feel better by saying so and claiming the action is equally valuable. But the truth is we cannot fully return to nature by destroying one habitat and protecting the other. I feel it just a moral thing we humans need to feel ok with the actions we take. Strategies and visions make things a bit more rational by taking caution for future actions and chances for establishing the sustainability strategies worldwide. The same thing happens with visually attractive natural areas considered as unique or refered to as ''wilderness''. Most od these areas are located in rural areas and after being claimed as nature conservation areas, mostly become highly popularized and visited. Not allowing degradation by taking actions like building, destroying it visual value ect., has a major role in protecting the area, but attracting visitors is also very risky if we want to leave the nature in its intact state. That is what is paradoxical. We want to protect nature from human actions by separating people from enjoying nature, but also we want to teach people to value natural areas. The major question is how would people value nature by not having the possibility to feel the value of nature and its important role for the wellbeing of each one of us. By trying to protect nature we need to be careful not to cut the connection between humans and nature and the importance of balance between it. Biodiversity is important and its a major question in what is moral and ethic to do and which being has more value. But considering the sustainability strategies which are popular today, the biggest success would be to teach people to value nature and the importance of conservation of natural sources and if we look at it from the more realistic point of view- people start to appreciate what they have or had when they lose it. That is why we need to design a proper strategies and start reconnecting humans with nature and rise the moral thoughts we have towards nature and its inhabitants. Isolating an area or object does not resolve its security or it doesn prevent its damage it just enlarges the vulnerability by making it surroundings less valuable.
