Conclusions. 520 $a Rivers, landscapes, whole territories: these are the latest entities environmental activists have fought hard to include in the relentless expansion of rights in our world. 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. 650 0 $a Rights of nature. 650 0 $a Natural resources $x Law and legislation. 650 0 $a Nature conservation $x Law and legislation. 650 7 $a Natural resources $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034431 650 7 $a Nature conservation $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034646 650 7 $a Rights of nature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986394 830 0 $a New ecology (Transcript (Firm)) ; $v v. 6. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230418012725.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=79F821BEDDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
