Long description: Eine Million Arten sind in den nächsten Jahren vom Aussterben bedroht. Immer wieder bekräftigen die Vereinten Nationen und Regierungen, die Biodiversität schützen zu wollen. Doch die politischen Ziele werden immer wieder verfehlt. Kann der Schutz der Biodiversität juristisch erzwungen werden? Dazu wurde schon vor Jahrzehnten die Idee eines Klagerechtes für Tiere und Ökosysteme entwickelt. Auch aktuell fordern NGOs und Jurist:innen das Konzept der »Natur als Rechtsperson«. Ist eine solche Weiterentwicklung des Rechts möglich und kann sie Biodiversität schützen? Die Autorinnen und Autoren führen Einsichten aus Ethik, Biologie, den Sozial- und Rechtswissenschaften zusammen: Wie kann man Rechte der Natur begründen? Wie sehen sozialökologische Beispiele aus, in denen Biodiversität und menschliche Ressourcennutzung nicht in Konkurrenz zueinander treten? Was wären die gesellschaftlichen Konsequenzen, wenn Rechte der Natur anerkannt würden? Biographical note: Frank Adloff ist Professor für Soziologe, insbesondere Dynamiken und Regulierung von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, an der Universität Hamburg und Co-Direktor der DFG-Kolleg-Forschungsgruppe »Zukünfte der Nachhaltigkeit«. Tanja Busse, Dr. phil., ist Autorin und Moderatorin und Fellow als »Writer in Residence« an der DFG-Kolleg-Forschungsgruppe »Zukünfte der Nachhaltigkeit«.

This wide-ranging Handbook presents a range of perspectives from leading international experts reflecting up-to-date research thinking on the subject of biodiversity law, the crucial importance of which to human welfare is only now being fully appreciated. Through a rigorous examination of the principles, procedures and practices that characterise this area of law, this timely volume effectively highlights its objectives, implementation, achievements, and prospects. Presenting thematic rather than regime-based coverage, the editors demonstrate the state-of-the-art of current research and identify future research needs and directions.

Declines and losses of insects throughout the world have wide ramifications for the sustainability of terrestrial and inland water ecosystems, and for humanity. Those changes are complex and confusing to quantify and evaluate as bases for assessing needs and priorities for conservation. Australia's insect fauna is taxonomically and ecologically diverse, highly endemic (and, so, unique) and also very imperfectly known, so that establishing numerical and distributional templates for insect diversity against which to measure changes must generally rely on very incomplete information - but aided by awareness of a number of clearly threatened species and evidence that profound changes to natural habitats from human activities continue. This book explores the major themes and problems in facilitating and expanding insect conservation interest and practice in Australia, through discussing how diversity may be evaluated, how changes might occur and the global significance of Australia's insects, as prelude to outlining practical conservation measures that must be pursued with incomplete documentation and understanding of the fauna. Insect conservation studies and examples (with extensive references given) from many parts of the world are discussed to display how progress may be increased in Australia. Themes such as focus on particular taxa or sites, habitat restoration and protected areas, threat recognition and alleviation, education and citizen science, attention to wider landscape/ecosystem protection, and honing conservation policy to increase attention to insects, are all integral components of developing measures to protect Australia's insect heritage. They are discussed in the context of increasing awareness of insect diversity and understanding the richness and vulnerability of numerous native taxa and their restricted environments.
