There is a growing consensus that biodiversity faces significant challenges worldwide. Biodiversity litigation refers to any legal dispute at the national or international level concerning the conservation, sustainable use, access to, and benefit-sharing of genetic resources, species, ecosystems, and their interactions. This issue has become a hot topic globally, particularly in relation to companies which are under increasing pressure from international regulators, NGOs, and other stakeholders to address biodiversity concerns. This pressure will likely continue increasing with worldwide stricter biodiversity protection regulations on the horizon.
Our series of articles outlines biodiversity challenges and trends in four regions – Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean.
