Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Laws aimed at preventing harm to the environment appear to be insufficient to halt or reverse environmental decline. In a Perspective, the authors highlight recent efforts to address this issue by recognizing intrinsic rights of nature. Going beyond the rights for individuals that animal rights advocates call for, the rights of nature proponents focus on natural communities, ecosystems and other natural entities. Several jurisdictions around the world have recognized rights of nature in specific circumstances, providing a potential means to protect natural entities even when their needs conflict with those of humans. Successful expansion and implementation of this concept will, however, depend on legal systems' ability to integrate ecological knowledge, as well as how much weight is given to rights of nature when they are in conflict with those of humans or corporations.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter discusses the requirements for the protection of species under Articles 12 to 16 and Annexes IV and V of the Habitats Directive, trends in the interpretation and enforcement of these requirements, and ongoing open questions. Amongst other things, the chapter discusses the Court of Justice of the EU’s (CJEU) leading decisions in Cases C-674/17 Tapiola (wolf hunting in Finland), C-441/17 Commission v Poland (Białowieża Forest), and Joined Cases C-473/19 and C-474/19 Skydda Skogen (strict protection of species in Sweden). The chapter concludes that, despite some political pressure, the trend seems to continue towards stricter interpretation and application of the Habitats Directive’s provisions on species protection by the CJEU and the European Commission.
