When health or environment public authorities submit such an alert, it isn't questioned nor subject to a problem of legitimacy. However, the State does not have the exclusive right to watch, and whistleblower alerts are more and more often submitted by citizens who attempt to disclose public interest information. The legal protection of these alerts by citizens is not clear so these unusual denunciations need to be legally framed. The issue is very important since human body infringement is at stake. Thus, it is necessary to acknowledge whistleblowers an individual right to alert, depending on who the information is addressed to. Individuals have a right to alert the population on behalf of the freedom of expression which gives everyone the chance to enrich public debates within the limits of abuse. But, sometimes, they have to do it, so that the alert can be regarded as the fulfillment of a duty of citizens that allows them to participate in the defense of public interest.</p>","PeriodicalId":81629,"journal":{"name":"Journal international de bioethique = International journal of bioethics","volume":"25 2","pages":"79-93, 172"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"32711486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, the current biodiversity crisis tends to be followed by the spread of universal values related to nature and its protection. Far from standardizing the pluralism of these values, this universal trend leads to two major tensions in the field of nature conservation. The first concerns the scientific or epistemic values: nature or \"biodiversity\" is altogether being reduced in sub-categories or by contrast considered as a complex object by modern ecological science. Biodiversity is indeed both increasingly considered in terms of its complexity and unpredictability, or on the contrary, as a collection of natural objects that can and must be managed with easily quantifiable indicators. The second tension concerns ethical values. These values tend to be reduced and simplified in equating nature with \"services\" that can benefit human societies. But this utilitarian reduction also hides a diversification of ethical values.
