Using Nonviolent Communication to Prevent Species Extinction |
Is it possible to use Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to prevent species extinction? Yes, and… NVC is necessary but not sufficient. In order to explain we need to make clear the root causes of species extinction and show how NVC is an important component of a tool box to address those root causes.
How do we understand the root cause
of species extinction?
It could be said that the root cause of species extinction is loss of habitat. While this is true, it is an oversimplification. Habitat loss itself is driven by multiple causes. It is more accurate to say that species extinction does not have only one, but rather multiple causes. Habitat loss is driven by a combination of consumerism and human population growth. Our hunger to consume, driven in
part by how our economic system is structured, leads to the destruction of places other species need to live. An illustrative example includes the forests in which orangutans live, which are cut down for mass oil palm production. Imagine a diverse ecosystem with thousands of species of plants, trees, insects, and other types of life cut down in order to cultivate rows upon rows of only one species, for human consumption....
Key Assumptions and Intentions of NVC by Inbal Kashtan and Miki Kashtan
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) has been described as a language of compassion, as a tool for positive social change, and as a spiritual practice. NVC gives us the tools and consciousness to understand what triggers us, to take responsibility for our reactions, and to deepen our connection with ourselves and others, thereby transforming our habitual responses to life. Ultimately, it involves a radical change in how we think about life
and meaning. NVC is based on a fundamental principle: Underlying all human actions are needs that people are seeking to meet, and understanding and acknowledging these needs can create a shared basis for connection, cooperation, and more globally – peace... |

"Social change involves helping people see new options for making life wonderful that are less costly to get needs met..
Unless we as social change agents come from a certain kind of spirituality, we’re likely to create more harm than good.
Regardless of our many differences, we all have the same needs. What differs is the strategy for fulfilling these needs." Marshall Rosenberg |

You must be the change you want to see in the world.. —Mahatma Gandhi
Peace Starts With You Sometimes the discord in the world feels overwhelming, and world peace seems impossible. At times like these, it can be tempting to give up. However, peace will be a reality when individuals from around the world become committed to living their own lives peacefully. Peace starts with each individual. If you are consumed with anger, resentment, and hate, you promote violence. If
you are consumed with harmony, tolerance, and compassion, you promote peace. Each time you refrain from doing harm—snapping at the store clerk or yelling at your children or partner—and each time you empathize with someone, you are working toward peace. We can each do our part to create world peace by creating compassion and peace in our daily lives. Be aware of how your attitudes or actions promote peace or discord today. |
