This class provides an overview of biodiversity protection law and policy. We will discuss the history of wildlife law, the US Endangered Species Act (and state analogues), the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, the Convention on Biological Diversity and, time permitting, other provisions such as the Clean Water Act's wetlands protection provision and the conservation requirements of the Magnuson Act (the US fishing regulation law). Along the way, we will consider the goals of biodiversity protection; US constitutional limits; procedural choices; the role of science and economics; the use of market-based incentives; climate change and prioritization; and the emerging rights of nature movement. Students will have the option of taking a final exam or writing a paper that satisfies the writing requirement.
