This paper analyzes the connections between conservation of biodiversity and human rights. First, it discusses court cases in which substantive human rights, such as the right to life and indigenous peoples’ rights to land and property, culture, and self-determination, have been used to protect biodiversity. Second, it explains the role of procedural human rights, such as rights to information, participation in decision making and access to justice, in the protection of biodiversity. The article demonstrates that international and national human rights instruments can be powerful tools for protecting biodiversity– often more effective than multinational environmental agreements.
