| dc.description.abstract | This essay investigates whether we have special or stronger duties towards individuals of a rare species than towards individuals of a common species. Three approaches are discussed: the species approach, the individual approach, and the collective approach. It is found that we do not have special or stronger duties towards rare individuals if we adopt a species or individual approach. In contrast, we do have special and stronger duties towards rare species under the collective approach. Three requirements must be met for this to be true: a) rare individuals must be vitally dependent on the continuation of their collective, b) their collective is in danger of extinction, and c) their rarity is caused by historical unjust treatment by humanity. | |
