Ecological integrity is concerned with protecting the planet in a
holistic way, while respecting ethics and human rights. Over recent
years it has been introduced directly and indirectly in several legal
regimes, culminating in international law with the 2016 expanded remit
of the International Criminal Court, which now includes "environmental
disasters". This book celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Global
Ecological Integrity Group (GEIG), which includes more than 250
scholars and independent researchers worldwide, from diverse
disciplines, including ecology, biology, philosophy, epidemiology,
public health, ecological economics, and international law. It reviews
the role of ecological integrity across a number of fields through
inter- and trans-disciplinary engagement on matters affecting and
governing the sustainability of life for both present and future
generations. These include, ethics, environmental disasters, crimes
against humanity and environmental health, and how such issues can be
subject to sound governance and be incorporated into international
law. The book also looks forward to new applications of the concept of
ecological integrity, such as crimes that result in the exploitation
of natural resources and the illegal dispossession of land.
