The crucial importance of biodiversity law to future human welfare
is only now being fully appreciated. This wide-ranging handbook
presents a range of perspectives from leading international experts
reflecting up-to-date research thinking on the vital subject of
biodiversity and its interaction with law.Through a rigorous
examination of the principles, procedures and practices that
characterise this area of law, this timely volume effectively
highlights its objectives, implementation, achievements, and
prospects. More specifically, the work addresses the regulatory
challenges posed by the principal contemporary threats to
biological diversity, the applicable general principles of
international environmental law and the visions, values and voices
that are shaping the development of the law. Presenting thematic
rather than regime-based coverage, the editors demonstrate the
state-of-the-art of current research and identify future research
needs and directions. This comprehensive and authoritative handbook
will be an indispensable resource for legal scholars, students and
practitioners alike. Contributors include: K. Bastmeijer, M.
Bowman, R. Caddell, E. Cloatre, P. Davies, M. Fitzmaurice, M.
Fosci, D. French, E.J. Goodwin, K. Hulme, E.A. Kirk, V. Koester, N.
Mohammed, R. Rayfuse, K.N. Scott, A. Trouwborst, T. West
This book is to share my story of how I overcame my past of guilt
and shame of all my poor choices through the love and power of
Jesus Christ.
This work presents an analysis and commentary on the 1992 United
Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, which was opened for
signature following the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and
Development. This Convention was an international treaty which
addressed all aspects of biodiversity, ranging from the
conservation of biological diversity and sustainable use of
biological resources, to access to biotechnology and the safety of
activities related to modified living organisms. The work extends
beyond the ambit of the Convention itself to examine the
conservation of biodiversity in international law, including
measures for the protection of the terrestrial, marine and
Antarctic environment and particular features relating to
sustainable use of biological resources, ex-situ conservation and
plant genetic resources. It further analyzes the controversial
issue of intellectual property rights, the problems of
implementation in the EU, differences between developing and
developed states, and the role of indigenous people. This work was
written by members of the Committee on Environmental Law of the
British branch of the International Law Association, following an
earlier study of International Law and Global Climate Change
(Graham & Trotman, 1991).
The development of international wildlife law has been one of the
most significant exercises in international law-making during the
last fifty years. This second edition of Lyster's International
Wildlife Law coincides with both the UN Year of Biological
Diversity and the twenty-fifth anniversary of Simon Lyster's first
edition. The risk of wildlife depletion and species extinction has
become even greater since the 1980s. This new edition provides a
clear and authoritative analysis of the key treaties which regulate
the conservation of wildlife and habitat protection, and of the
mechanisms available to make them work. The original text has also
been significantly expanded to include analysis of the
philosophical and welfare considerations underpinning wildlife
protection, the cross-cutting themes of wildlife and trade, and the
impact of climate change and other anthropogenic interferences with
species and habitat. Lyster's International Wildlife Law is an
indispensable reference work for scholars, practitioners and
policy-makers alike.
