ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book emphasises and highlights the need to develop a more ecological form of accounting for organisations and corporations by comparing the reporting practice of wildlife NGOs with corporate environmental and sustainability reporting. It also highlights corporate silence, or absence in reporting on their impacts on threatened species. The book adopts an accounting perspective and focuses on two species: the red kite and the sparrow, whereas the authors get a broad perspective of UK bird species from Amaral Rogers, who looks at the work of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds in preventing bird extinctions. The ecological extinction prevention mechanisms within capitalism allow people to bring people and planet into the heart of their work, merging their personal and working life for the good of all species.
