Law and the Nature Crisis
Nature is in crisis and especially nature in the UK. Never mind the demise of the Black Rhino or the Orangutan nature is in dramatic decline right here on our doorstep in Wales. The UK has lost nearly 50% of its species since records began and is one of the least species rich countries in the world. Whilst climate change is grabbing all the headlines the increasingly rapid decline of species abundance is impacting on all our lives. Species diversity is essential to the resilience of our natural resource base that underlines food production, water quality and many other `services¿ provided by nature for human sustenance and development. The UK has a long history of legislation aimed at the protection of endangered species and their habitats, but this is now quite outdated. In this course we will consider the existing legal frameworks for the protection of biodiversity and the future challenges for law in addressing the nature crisis. The course will focus on a Welsh perspective highlighting the significance of local nature concerns.
Whether you are a keen environmentalist, have ambitions to become a commercial property lawyer or want to be involved in more local practice this course will be of significance to you. Nature is, arguably, nobodies property, but it exists in land and coastal environments that are subject to legal rights and duties. Therefore, biodiversity law is set to become an increasing priority for lawyers involved in all aspects of property rights.
