The polyphonic musical composition allows us to speak of the emergence, in the South and from the south that we are, of Voices of the Earth. These voices have whispered, sung, cried or shouted the pain produced by the ways of inhabiting the world built in the modernity of the earth and the world of life. This commercial, industrial and global modernity has reified the Earth and the world of life. And the modern ethics have been reduced to absolutely Euro-anthropo-rational-centrist values, permeated by the supreme value of capital. This article emerges from Latin American environmental thinkers and thinkers-others who have radically suspected the building of environmental ethics emerging from the conference of the Club of Rome or the Burndtland Report. We try to articulate the adjective ethical, understanding ethos as house in Ancient Greek. Following the voices of the South land, Abya Yala, we try to abandon the idea of subject and the object of the eurocentric environmental ethic, and propose new designs of the ethos, linked ontically-relationally with the body earth. Inspired by Husserl, Heidegger, Deleuze, Guattari, Angel-Maya, Enrique Leff, Noguera, Echeverri and others, and also by the voices of mountains, animals, rivers, and plants, by the life itself, we try to design territories of freedom. This freedom is understood as the expansion of the bodies in nature and as a complete peace. There cannot be peace, if we do not love or respect the land that we are. This demands the ethical-ethical-aesthetic-political turn of ethics in the key of a South Environmental Thought.

We are living in the Anthropocene, in its broad sense, where the geological and the historical converge since human action makes it possible. Climate Change and the global exploitation of natural resources and the capitalism structures lead mankind towards the collapse of civilization as we know it. There are some important relations between Anthropocene and Collapse that show simultaneously the power as well as the impotence of humanity.

The human rights that are enshrined in most western democracies are based on enlightenment ideals of freedom, equality, and justice. Although these core principles are inspirational, their application has not necessarily been equitable or complete enough to provide for the stability, safety, health, and security of all citizens. A more modern understanding of human rights encompasses that which is needed to establish human flourishing, including guaranteed access to water, particularly the clean water provided by adequate sanitation. Without confidence in broad safety and health, and established norms for individual protections, it is difficult for a society to be stable and flourish. Although this argument begins with political philosophy, it ends with a case study in Alabama, one of the poorest states in the United States. This study evaluates the dysfunction caused to local communities and greater society when governmental organizations fail to provide sanitation and guarantee public health for their communities.

This article deals with interactions between citizenship and political ecology by examining the ‘pulp mills conflict’ in Gualeguaychu, Argentina. The conflict burst in 2003 when the Uruguayan authorities announced the construction of a cellulose plant on the shore of the Uruguay River. The citizens of Gualeguaychu, a city right across the border, initiated a movement of protest that soon transcended the local dimension. I argue that this protest was a battle over sovereignty and an environmental conflict between different conceptions of development and diverse views of the use of a common resource, the river. The notion of ecological citizenship formed in this process is assessed by examining how this concept was constructed by local stakeholders and by unveiling the motivations informing citizens’ engagement.

How does the Anthropocene impinges on environmental ethics? The former does not just attest to the extraordinary anthropogenic transformation experienced by planetary systems, but also certifies that human impacts on Earth are not accidents or contingencies but the unavoidable side-effect of our species’ way of being. This article will explore the consequences that the current planetary emergency entail for environmental ethics, arguing that as humanity is not a political subject –or not yet– individual behavior acquires greater relevance -an individual behavior that once massively aggregated helps to create climate change and other Anthropocene-related problems. It will be defended that the key virtue for the ecological citizen is the epistemic virtue of reflexivity or self-awareness, the result of which should be the formation of planetary subjectivities oriented in turn towards sustainability as well as –ideally– the reparation of human relations with the natural world.

One of the main causes why the European mink, Mustela lutreola , is in danger of extinction is the fur industry. On the one hand, during the 19th and 20th centuries, hunting for its fur caused a serious decline in the species. On the other hand, from the 1920s the fur industry began to replace the hunt for breeding in captivity, and Europe was filled with American mink, Neovison vison, farms; some of them escaped, colonized the continent and have become a threat to the European mink. Nowadays, some countries are beginning to ban these farms, which on the contrary are increasing in Spain. The objective of this article is to analyze this specific case as an example of how our aesthetic tastes may result harmful and even lethal for other species and nature in general.
