Historically, international law, human rights law, and, in many places, domestic law have been firmly anthropocentric, concerned primarily with humans and with an only ancillary concern for non-humans and the more than human world. This anthropocentrism speaks to a philosophy that views humans as separate and above the other species and ecosystems on which they, in fact, rely. And as overlapping existential ecological emergencies – from climate change to biodiversity to toxic pollution – can attest, this foundational anthropocentrism isn’t working.
