Abstract/Description:

Landscapes and the wild plants and animals (wildlife) inhabiting them have long been, and continue to be, considered natural resources for humankind to make use of. This chapter explores the evolving role of international law in regulating such use. In particular, the focus is on international agreements concerning the conservation and/or sustainable use of wild flora and fauna and their habitats – nowadays often referred to as biodiversity – and landscapes.
