=== Contemporary theoretical developments === Writers such as Murray Bookchin and [[Alan Carter (philosopher)|Alan Carter]] have claimed contemporary anarchism to be the only political movement capable of addressing [[climate change]].{{Sfn|Ward|2004|p=98}} In his 1996 book ''Ecology and Anarchism'', British anthropologist [[Brian Morris (anthropologist)|Brian Morris]] argued that anarchism is intrinsically environmentalist, as it shared the ecologist principles of decentralisation, non-hierarchical social organisation and interdependence.{{Sfn|Hall|2011|p=379}} By the 21st century, green anarchists had begun to move beyond the previous century's divisions into social ecologist and anarcho-primitivist camps, establishing a new body of theory that rejected the dualisms of humanity against nature and civilisation against wilderness.{{Sfn|Hall|2011|p=383}} Drawing on the biocentric philosophy of deep ecology, in 2006, [[Mark Somma]] called for a "revolutionary environmentalism" capable of overthrowing [[capitalism]], reducing consumption and organising the [[Nature conservation|conservation]] of biodiversity.{{Sfn|Hall|2011|pp=383-384}} Somma championed a form of [[solidarity]] between humanity and the non-human natural world, in a call that was taken up in 2009 by [[Steven Best]], who called for eco-anarchists to commit themselves to "[[total liberation]]" and extend solidarity to animals.{{Sfn|Hall|2011|p=384}} To Best, [[morality]] ought to be extended to animals due to their [[sentience]] and capacity to feel [[pain]]; he has called for the abolition of the hierarchy between humans and animals, although he implicitly excludes non-sentient plants from this moral consideration.{{Sfn|Hall|2011|pp=384-385}} Drawing from [[eco-feminism]], [[pattrice jones]] called for human solidarity with both plants and animals, neither of which she considered to be lesser than humans, even describing them as "natural anarchists" that do not recognise or obey any government's laws.{{Sfn|Hall|2011|pp=385-386}} In 2012, Jeff Shantz developed a theory of "[[green syndicalism]]", which seeks to use of [[syndicalism|syndicalist]] models of workplace organisation to link the [[labour movement]] with the [[environmental movement]].{{Sfn|Parson|2018|p=221}}
