The concept of "Rights of Nature" has gained significant traction in recent years, with a growing number of countries and jurisdictions embracing these norms. These norms involve granting legal rights to nature or natural objects, such as rivers, forests, or ecosystems. This book critically examines the idea of natural objects as right-holders and analyzes legal cases, policies, and philosophical issues related to this development.
Drawing on contributions from a diverse range of experts in the field, Rights of Nature: A Re-examination investigates the potential for this innovative idea to revolutionize the concepts of rights, standing, and recognition as traditionally understood in many legal systems. Taking as its starting point Stone's influential 1972 article, "Should Trees Have Standing?" the book examines the progress rights of nature have made since that time, by identifying central themes, unifying principles, and key distinctions in how rights of nature discourse has been operationalized in the disciplines of law, philosophy, and the social sciences. These themes and principles are illustrated through a wide variety of examples, including ecosystem services, indigenous thinking, and ecological restoration, demonstrating how the relationship between humanity and the natural world may be transforming.
The book takes a philosophical, political, and legal perspective, making it of great interest to students and scholars of environmental law and policy, environmental ethics, and philosophy. It provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary exploration of the rights of nature concept, offering valuable insights into the potential for a more sustainable and equitable relationship between humanity and the natural world.
