The Promises and Perils of Rights of NatureThe Promises and Perils of Rights of Nature
❏Abstract
In recent years, cross-disciplinary debates are proliferating around the new legal tool or framework, the so-called rights of Nature. Some approach it with hope - as the missing link in strengthening environmental protection adequate for the troubling times of the Anthropocene. Others are more sceptical and do not see in the tool that much difference from the already existing structure of Nature protection inscribed in systems of modern law. In the lecture, the controversy is approached via political and environmental anthropology with a particular focus on detecting promises as well as perils of the rather novel legal concept.
