The Elgar Encyclopedia of Environmental Law is a landmark reference
work, providing definitive and comprehensive coverage of this
dynamic field. Each volume probes the key elements of law, the
essential concepts, and the latest research through concise,
structured entries written by international experts. Each entry
includes an extensive bibliography as a starting point for further
reading. The mix of authoritative commentary and insightful
discussion will make this an essential tool for research and
teaching, as well as a valuable resource for professionals and
policymakers. The unprecedented degradation of the planet's vital
ecosystems and species, and the consequent damage to the
variability of life on Earth, are one of the most pressing issues
confronting the international community. The purpose of this volume
of the Elgar Encyclopedia of Environmental Law is to provide a
critical assessment of international biodiversity law in the face
of the failed attempts to reduce the global trend in irreversible
biodiversity loss and the need to increase efforts, including
through indirect drivers of change such as institutions, governance
and legal frameworks. The volume assesses comprehensively how and
to what extent international law has addressed the key concerns
presently facing biodiversity conservation, made recourse to
conventional and market-based approaches to biodiversity
conservation and sustainable use, tackled cross-cutting issues, and
considered direct as well as indirect changes in socio-economic
conditions. In doing so, the volume examines the historical
development, principles, themes and cross cutting issues of
international biodiversity law. Each article, written by an invited
expert in that field, contains an overview of the topic, provides a
concise review of current knowledge, identifies new directions for
cutting-edge research and offers an extensive bibliography. This
major research-focused resource and its in-depth exploration of the
field of biodiversity law is an essential reference for university
students, teachers, researchers, practitioners and policy makers.
