Human activities are depleting ecosystems at an unprecedented rate.
In spite of nature conservation efforts worldwide, many ecosystems
including those critical for human well-being have been damaged or
destroyed. States and citizens need a new vision of how humans can
reconnect with the natural environment. With its focus on the
long-term holistic recovery of ecosystems, ecological restoration
has received increasing attention in the past decade from both
scientists and policymakers. Research on the implications of
ecological restoration for the law and law for ecological
restoration has been largely overlooked. This is the first
published book to examine comprehensively the relationship between
international environmental law and ecological restoration. While
international environmental law (IEL) has developed significantly
as a discipline over the past four decades, this book enquires
whether IEL can now assist states in making a strategic transition
from not just protecting and maintaining the natural environment
but also actively restoring it. Arguing that states have
international duties to restore, this book offers reflections on
the philosophical context of ecological restoration and the legal
content of a duty to restore from an international law, European
Union law and national law perspective. The book concludes with a
discussion of several contemporary themes of interest to both
lawyers and ecologists including the role of private actors,
protected areas and climate change in ecological restoration.
