 This equation may imply that the justice/normativity link is to be interpreted as depending on the “fair sharing of benefits”. This fair sharing of benefits often is played out locally, while the conservation of biodiversity is more a global CBD issue. Thus, there does not seem to be a tight fit between Eser et al.’s historical perspective, tied to the origins of the term “biodiversity”, and the deeper historical perspective of ethical arguments for the conservation of biotic diversity. Indeed, Eser et al. do not provide any explicit analysis of the benefits and value of biodiversity-as-variety. Instead, they see the wide range of notions of “biodiversity” as quite useful in providing a “boundary” object that can embrace lots of meanings and perspectives about value. A similar perspective is found in a proposed “weak deflationism” for biodiversity (see below), where what is regarded as “biodiversity” is the outcome of “normative discussion of what merits conservation”.
