Abstract:
This Special Issue aims to critically evaluate the current legal and institutional frameworks for environmental protection in the Amazon, against the backdrop of increasing deforestation rates, forest fires and unfavourable political contexts in some of the Amazon countries. In this vein, the contributions to this Special Issue discuss legal pathways that may contribute to the protection of the Amazon. In sum, this Special Issue looks at possible responses in national and international law, as well as market-based mechanisms and soft law initiatives, that can potentially contribute to forest conservation and the protection of indigenous peoples rights in the Amazon. Several legal aspects are examined—for example, whether (domestic and international) litigation can be an avenue to ensure compliance with both national and international law. Through its zero-deforestation policy the soy moratorium strengthens (local and international) climate change commitments. The article also recognizes the significant role played by corporations, through the use of market-based mechanisms, in achieving law compliance and forest conservation.
