Abstract

This article aims to compare Environmental Law in England with the established body of Earth Law which currently exists internationally. It provides an analysis of English Law as it applies to marine protection, environmental permitting and wildlife conservation and critically analyses whether they are doing enough to ensure a conservationist regime. Further, it explores the Earth Law movement and how it might influence and change the application of Environmental Law in England. Particular attention is paid to academics and writers such as Christopher Stone, Rachel Carson and Cormac Cullinan. Examining the shift we as human beings must take from an anthropocentric stance to one of ecocentric and biocentric beliefs in order to support the Earth.
