Call for Papers
Topic: Sustainable Pathways Toward Biodiversity Preservation
Sustainable Development Law and Policy ("SDLP") is currently accepting
submissions for its Spring 2010 issue, which will focus on the current state of
biodiversity preservation in domestic and international law and policy. If you
would like to submit an article for consideration, please send your paper or a
summary of your topic to s...@wcl.american.edu ASAP. The priority deadline for
submission of final papers will be March 31, 2010.
SDLP's "Biodiversity Preservation" issue hopes to provide a forum for
practitioners to discuss the legal, social, and political realities of
advocating for biodiversity conservation in and outside of the courtroom. We
are hoping to receive papers on issues such as, but not limited to:
* Recent developments in biodiversity conservation laws (domestic or
international)
* Suits under the Endangered Species Act
* Convention on Biological Diversity or the Convention on International Trade
in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna, or other treaties
* Ecosystems with high levels of biodiversity and low levels of legal protection
* The intersection of human needs, such as for food and water, on the world's
biodiversity
* How climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts could help protect or
harm the world's biodiversity
* The nexus between deforestation and biodiversity loss
* Biodiversity loss and the loss of possible medicinal applications
* and more . . .
SDLP aims to represent a range of viewpoints, including those from academia,
the private sector, public sector, multilateral organizations, and others.
