Biodiversity: Law, Policy and Governance

Editat de Usha Tandon, Mohan Parasaran, Sidharth Luthra
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 dec 2019
Conservation of biodiversity is a fundamental concern towards securing a sustainable future. This volume argues that despite various domestic and international policies and legal frameworks on biodiversity conservation — be it forest, wildlife, marine, coastal, etc. — their implementation suffers from many deficiencies. It explores the factors that hinder effective implementation of these policies and frameworks. It also analyses existing laws, both international and domestic, to identify inherent problems in the existing legal system. The book maintains that careful adherence to established procedures and protocols, public awareness, filling the lacuna in legal framework, and a strong political will are sine qua non for effective conservation of biodiversity and sustainable development. The volume defends the protection of traditional knowledge and participation of indigenous communities along with reinforcements of intellectual property in this regard. It also commends the role played by the Indian judiciary, especially the Supreme Court of India and India’s National Green Tribunal for the preservation and enhancement of natural resources by applying established as also evolving principles of environmental law.




This book will be useful to scholars and researchers of environmental studies, development studies, policy studies and law related to biodiversity and conservation.

Recenzii

‘This book Biodiversity: Law, Policy and Governance which is a complication of articles and papers fittingly discusses, critiques, analyses as well as examines the widening gap in biodiversity governance. It deliberates on the problem, discerns the various forms of innovative governance adopted and provides an in-depth analysis of the judicial discourses as well as the management system. It scrutinizes the main issue that plague a country that hopes to implement a method for securing a positive upshot by discussing the widening gap between the theoretical aspirations and the practical execution, where the obligations undertaken seldom transform from mere ink and paper.’
Justice A. K. Sikri, Judge, Supreme Court of India, New Delhi, India
