Earth laws, rights of nature and legal pluralism

Abstract

This chapter describes the comparative legal implications of Wild Law and Earth Jurisprudence by acknowledging the country which the paper is written and in which it is being read. It reminds the reader that the concept of country is a varied and multifaceted one. The chapter focuses on Indigenous worldviews and legal perspectives, given the specific place that they are awarded within the emerging discourse of Wild Law and Earth Jurisprudence. Indigenous peoples and their worldviews have occupied a special position within the emerging discourse of Earth Jurisprudence from the very beginning. The relevance of Indigenous worldviews to the project of an Ecological Jurisprudence, both in a practical as well as a theoretical sense is certainly as uncontroversial. Advocates of Earth Jurisprudence suggest and promote an important dialogue with and among all cultures in regard to the way in which collective species, engage with the environment, with particular emphasis on a dialogue involving Indigenous voices.
