Migration Conservation: A View From Above, Robert L. Fischman Jan 2011

Migration Conservation: A View From Above, Robert L. Fischman

Articles by Maurer Faculty

The extinction prevention focus of natural resources policy diverts attention from important issues of ecological integrity and adaptation to climate change. Animal migration conservation serves as a bridge from the imperiled species problem to the more spatially and temporally difficult problems surrounding climate change adaptation.

It also introduces the articles that follow in a symposium issue of the journal, Environmental Law.

Articles by Maurer Faculty

Justice between generations is a growing concern in land use, particularly in the areas of environmental and historic preservation. In this Article, Professor Gerdingen addresses the effect of this development on contemporary takings clause doctrine. He argues that conventional takings doctrine is comprised of four different "causes of action" that merely focus on intragenerational conflicts over the use of resources. As a result, part of the reason why the law generates so many hard cases in the area of environmental and historic preservation is that the conventional takings doctrine is unable to accommodate the justice between generations component of preservation …
