But what does it mean for a landscape to have rights? Why would anyone want to create such rights, and to what end? Is it a good idea, and does it come with risks? This book presents the logic behind giving nature rights and discusses the most important cases in which this has happened, ranging from constitutional rights of nature in Ecuador to rights for rivers in New Zealand, Colombia, and India. Mihnea Tanasescu offers clear answers to the thorny questions that the intrusion of nature into law is sure to raise.Understanding the Rights of NatureNatural resourcesLaw and legislationNatural resourcesLaw and legislation.341.762Tanasescu Mihnea788132NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910547693603321Understanding the Rights of Nature3364461UNINA
