• Bulldozing biodiversity: The economics of offsets and trading-in Nature (2015, background): “The lines of battle in conservation are being drawn between those pushing for this pragmatic change (Kareiva and Marvier, 2012) and those opposing it as undermining the very essence of their practice (Cafaro and Primack, 2014; Doak et al., 2014).”
• The victims of unsustainability: a challenge to sustainable development goals (2016, background): “…(Rees 2010; Wijkman and Rockström 2012; Fletcher et al. 2014; Washington 2015; Black 2016) and exacerbate ecological injustice between species, privileging human welfare over concerns with other species (Crist 2012; Kopnina 2012; Strang 2013; Cafaro & Primack 2014; Shoreman-Ouimet & Kopnina 2016).”
• The Sixth Mass Extinction: fact, fiction or speculation? (2022, unknown): “Such attitudes, reviewed and criticised by Meine (2018) and Rolston (2018), are an abdication of responsibility – indeed an abdication of morality (e.g. Cafaro & Primack, 2014; Rolston, 2018).”
