Researching the problem: Would an Rights of Nature Concept be THE solution?
- With a focus on the historical-political impact on the protection of the ecosystem, Prof. Dr. Nitschmann referring to Hsiao (2012) began with the Whanganui River case and used this example to show how law can be successfully used as an instrument for status quo conservation over centuries in favour of economic interests in an anthropocentric system, questioning during her reflections if a Rights of Nature concept is THE solution to actual environmental challenges.
