This book addresses one of todays most urgent issues: the loss of wildlife and habitat, which together constitute an ecological crisis. Combining studies from different disciplines such as law, political science and criminology, with a focus on animal rights, the chapters explore the successes and failures of the international wildlife conservation and trade treaties, CITES and the BERN Convention.
While these conventions have played a crucial role in protecting endangered species from trade and in the rewilding of European large carnivores, the case studies in this book demonstrate huge variations in their implementation and enforcement across Europe. In conclusion, the book advocates for a non-anthropocentric policy approach to strengthen wildlife conservation in Europe.

This timely and exciting book provides a critical overview of wildlife protection and the contemporary challenges faced in implementing international wildlife law in the face of destructive human interests. Angus Nurse, Anglia Ruskin University "This provocative book exposes one of the great ironies of conservation laws that the legal instruments designed to protect simultaneously reproduce injustice and harms to wildlife. A must-read for academics and activists alike." Rob White, University of Tasmania
