Recognising the role of local communities in the maintenance of these services – through, for example, practices of natural resource management – is vital to their sustainability. This book draws on arguments for the rights of nature to transform the current Payments for Ecosystem Services framework into a unique Rights for Ecosystem Services framework. With reference to a case study from Sicily, the book develops such a framework as a crucial means through which the environmental role of local communities can be recognised, protected and fostered. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmploying insights from a range of disciplines, this book will appeal to scholars working in the areas of environmental law, legal theory, political philosophy, human rights and environmental studies; as well as others with practical concerns in the fields of conservation science and natural resource management.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45588371800302,"sku":"9781032462295","price":218.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/rights-for-ecosystem-services","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
