THE SALAMANCA STATEMENT PREAMBLE
“Making the World a Wilder Place” is a call for ac;on to create a society that understands that human health and prosperity are dependent upon wild nature. Such a society respects both a decent standard of human living and the role, rights, and values of wild nature, because the two are inextricably linked. To do this, our work involves changing the
development paradigm that regards nature as a storehouse to be looted for short‐term gain, to one that integrates a new impera;ve to protect the life‐ suppor;ng services – and the beauty, mystery and magic – of wild nature.
