Biodiversity Law Seminar

The preservation and conservation of species has local impacts, not only where the plants and animals live, but also where they are shipped, grown, reproduced and sold.  Thus, preservation and conservation, as well as balancing the rights and interests of respective parties, require national and international management, much of which is done through law.

In this course, guest Professor Shamita Kumar of India, an international expert in the law of conservation, will lead the students – in collaboration with Professor Dr. Kirk W. Junker – through the natural and social sciences, highlighting what the problems are, how the sciences cope with them and how law might contribute a remedy.
