Abstract

[Extract] The Bolivian constitutional recognition of earth rights, the Whanganui River declaration in New Zealand and the recent court finding of some rights vesting in a captive Argentinian orang-utan, indicate that the law is slowly waking up to its exclusion of the natural world from the realm of rights. These examples are simply facets of a much broader 'convergence of crises, all of which present a significant moral and survival challenge for the human species,' requiring a re-imagining of the potential of the law. Peter Burdon’s book Earth Jurisprudence: Private Property and the Environment does just that, providing both a theoretical justification and a model for a holistic engagement between private property and the natural world.
