| Summary |
"The Habitats Directive is a cornerstone of the EU's nature conservation policy, having established the Natura 2000 ecological network, which covers more than 18 per cent of Europe. However, so far only 17 per cent of the protected habitats and species in Europe are adequately protected, while many more animal species remain under threat. This book examines the successes and failures of the Habitats Directive from a legal and political angle. The book brings together international experts to consider the application, implementation and future of the Habitats Directive in order to assess whether it is resilient enough to tackle biodiversity loss in the twenty-first century. Particular emphasis is placed on the legal regime attached to the Natura 2000 network and its possible impact on land development, and the relationship between the Habitats Directive and liability for ecological damage and transboundary nature conservation. The book will be of great interest and value to scholars and students of environmental law and policy and European law, as well as practitioners and policy makers in environmental law"--Unedited summary from book cover |
