Wild animals are vulnerable to the harmful impacts of human-caused climate change. Most ethicists would agree, then, that we have a general obligation to protect wild animals from these harmful effects. However, the author argues that ethicists will disagree on the best strategy for protecting wild animals, depending on if the primary concern is on justice or maximizing welfare. The author considers three strategies to illustrate how different ethical theories diverge: rescue and rehabilitation, habitat restoration, and assisted migration.
