Excerpt

At the Copenhagen climate change conference in 2009, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) proposed ten additional species to “share the polar bear’s burden” and “illustrate” global effects of climate change (IUCN 2009). Images of polar bears in melting ice have become synonymous with environmentalist climate campaigns (Stirling and Derocher 2007). The IUCN proposal adopts the logic that if one flagship species for global climate change can apparently influence public opinion, a whole fleet of flagships would have an even greater effect. The new IUCN climate change flagship fleet includes staghorn corals, the ringed seal, the leatherback turtle, the emperor penguin, the quiver tree, clownfish, the arctic fox, salmon, the koala, and the beluga whale (IUCN 2009). …
