From the first appearance of the term in law in the Clean Water Act
of 1972 (US), ecological integrity has been debated by a wide range
of researchers, including biologists, ecologists, philosophers,
legal scholars, doctors and epidemiologists, whose joint interest
was the study and understanding of ecological/biological integrity
from various standpoints and disciplines. This volume discusses the
need for ecological integrity as a major guiding principle in a
variety of policy areas, to counter the present ecological and
economic crises with their multiple effects on human rights. The
book celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Global Ecological
Integrity Group and reassesses the basic concept of ecological
integrity in order to show how a future beyond catastrophe and
disaster is in fact possible, but only if civil society and
ultimately legal regimes acknowledge the necessity to consider
ecointegrity as a primary factor in decision-making. This is key to
the support of basic rights to clean air and water, for halting
climate change, and also the basic rights of women and indigenous
people. As the authors clearly show, all these rights ultimately
depend upon accepting policies that acknowledge the pivotal role of
ecological integrity.
