Reflective test on biodiversity and human values in the pandemic context

Abstract

This article presents reflections on the emergence of pandemics and the relationship with the loss of biodiversity, climate change and the accelerated exploitation of nature, which signal their current fragile situation and announce the depletion of natural resources. The pandemic currently experienced (COVID-19) also highlighted social inequality and its interfaces, imposing the need to redefine conducts and make permanent decisions in favor of common welfare. The collectivity, solidarity, and cooperation, intra and interspecific, must override individualism. The discussion is elevated to the relationship of human values and biodiversity in the current and post-pandemic context, seeking to envision in education a path for the epistemological construction of well live for humanity.
