In the face of the failure of the traditional 'command and control'
model of environmental regulation to curb the devastating losses of
biodiversity around the world, policymakers are increasingly
seeking new approaches to deal with this complex interdisciplinary
issue. The Privatisation of Biodiversity? provides a timely
contribution to this debate by exploring the legal aspects and the
scope to strengthen conservation through these reforms. Colin Reid
and Walters Nsoh draw on literature well beyond legal sources,
particularly from ecology, environmental economics, and philosophy
to reach a number of pragmatic conclusions on the issues discussed.
The new approaches explored include payment for ecosystem services,
biodiversity offsetting and conservation covenants, as well as
taxation and impact fees. Such mechanisms introduce elements of a
market approach as well as private sector initiative and resources.
This book considers both the practical and ethical aspects of the
regulatory choices available to identify the potential and
limitations of an increasingly market-based regime. Bringing
clarity and coherence to a complex issue, this book will act as a
useful tool for environmental and public law scholars as well as
other academics in a range of fields interested in biodiversity
conservation. It will also provide valuable insight for
policymakers, legal practitioners involved in planning,
environmental and agricultural matters, public bodies with
responsibility for conservation, landowners, managers and
developers, individuals and NGOs dedicated to biodiversity, and
students of nature conservation interested in exploring new
mechanisms for achieving their objectives.
