Description

The Law of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Management 5th Edition J. B. Ruhl ISBN 9781685614539

Ecosystem and Biodiversity Law, Fifth Edition is a comprehensive law school casebook that explores the study of ecosystem and biodiversity policy and protection. The text defines biodiversity, examines the factors shaping policy choices, and includes original notes and questions to stimulate class discussion.

This fifth edition has been substantially updated to reflect recent scientific findings on biodiversity loss and its ramifications for humanity. It analyzes the contrasting approaches of the Trump and Biden administrations to climate policy, endangered species protection, and ecosystem management, while addressing Supreme Court decisions that are fundamentally reshaping administrative law.

New materials include major Supreme Court rulings impacting environmental law, enhanced coverage of tribal sovereignty in resource management, and the evolving roles of state and local governments in biodiversity protection. Key cases, such as the dusky gopher frog controversy, alongside milestones in climate policy like the Paris Agreement, provide students with a practical and timely understanding of the legal landscape surrounding ecosystem and biodiversity protection.
