Synopsis

This book explores the concept of multi-species relationships and suggests   critical systemic  pathways to  protect shared habitats. This book discusses how the eradication of species as a result of rapid urbanisation places humanity at risk. This book demonstrates how narrow anthropocentrism has focused on the rights of human beings at the expense of other species and the environment. This book explores a priori norms and a posteriori measures and indicators to  include and protect multiple species. This book aims to strengthen institutional capacity and powers to  address and extend the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda by drawing on local wisdom but also the need to implement laws to prevent ecocide. This book highlights that our fragile interdependence requires a recognition of our hybridity and interconnectedness within the web of life and  suggests ways to reframe  policy within and beyond the nation state to support living systems ofwhich we are a strand.
