This book addresses one of today’s most urgent issues: the loss
of wildlife and habitat, which together constitute an ecological
crisis. Combining studies from different disciplines such as law,
political science and criminology with a focus on animal rights,
the chapters explore the successes and failures of the
international wildlife conservation and trade treaties, CITES and
the BERN Convention. While these conventions have played a crucial
role in protecting endangered species from trade and in the
rewilding of European large carnivores, the case studies in this
book demonstrate huge variations in their implementation and
enforcement across Europe. In conclusion, the book advocates for a
non-anthropocentric policy approach to strengthen wildlife
conservation in Europe.
Building on knowledge within the fields of green and eco-global
criminology, this book uses empirical and theoretical arguments to
discuss the multi-dimensional character of eco-global crime. It
provides an overview of eco-global crimes and discusses them from a
justice perspective. The persistence of animal abuse and speciesism
are also examined together with policies aimed at controlling the
natural world and plant species. Pollution by large corporations,
rights of indigenous peoples and the damage caused by the mineral
extraction are also considered. Providing new ideas and insights
which will be relevant on a global scale, this book is an
interesting and useful study of the exploitation of nature and
other species. It will be invaluable for students and scholars
globally, working within or connected to the field of green and
eco-global criminology. The book will also be important for the
participants of various social movements, especially the
environmental and animal advocacy movements.

The last decades have shown an increase in the migration across the
globe from poor and conflict ridden states to the affluent peaceful
north. Part of this migration is constituted by refugees and asylum
seekers, while the other part is constituted by labour migrants who
seek to improve their lives and future prospects through their work
power. There are not only push factors causing migrants to leave,
but also pull factors such as when the middle classes enjoy an
increase in their living standards which cause them to employ
domestic help in their homes. Different regulations apply for
migrants within different national contexts and within the same
nation. These have varying impacts on the migrants' manoeuvring
possibilities and rights, and leave some vulnerable to
exploitation. Different motivations for migration often exist
between men and women. Advances in Ecopolitics, Volume 10, examines
the vulnerability caused by transnational migration, and how it
affects rights and gender. In particular it examines the
vulnerability of women and how this may cause forced migration and
the ways in which this is dealt with by national authorities in
affluent European states.
This book brings together the findings of a multi-disciplinary and
international research project on environmental crime in Europe,
funded by the European Union (EU). "European Union Action to Fight
Environmental Crime" (EFFACE) was a 40-month research project that
included eleven European research institutions and think tanks and
was led by Ecologic Institute Berlin. EFFACE assessed the impacts
of environmental crime as well as effective and feasible policy
options for combating it from a multidisciplinary perspective, with
a focus on the EU. As part of this project, numerous instances of
environmental crime within and outside of the EU were studied and
are now presented in this volume. This edited collection is highly
innovative in showing not only the many facets of environmental
crime, but also how it should be conceptualised and the
consequences. An original and rigorous study, this book will be of
particular interest to policy makers and scholars of green
criminology and environmental studies.
