Накратко на български
Правата на местните общности да пазят природата чрез традиционни практики се изследват чрез нов правен модел. Това помага да се намали рискът те да изоставят устойчивия начин на живот поради липса на ефективна защита.

Rights for Ecosystem Services (RES): a framework to protect the environment and sustainable local communities in the EU.
Local communities often contribute to environmental protection through sustainable practices that advance several Sustainable Development Goals at once. Increasingly, international instruments have recognized that their traditional knowledge and practices can contribute to environmental protection. However, they still suffer from eviction from their traditional lands, pressures arising from large-scale natural resource development, measures aimed at the conservation of the environment and the like. The project concentrated on local communities at the international level and in EU countries. It sought to clarify the rights and obligations of local communities necessary to maintain their practices relevant for environmental protection by proposing a wider understanding of the Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) framework – which aims at fostering environmental protection through payments for the benefits people obtain from ecosystems – and of the concept of biocultural rights – as the basket of rights of indigenous peoples and local communities necessary to maintain their role as stewards of the environment. To do so, the project developed an innovative theoretical and legal framework – labelled Rights for Ecosystems Services (RES) – to guide policy and legal developments towards reducing the risk of local communities abandoning their sustainable practices due to the lack of effective protection. The project tested RES as a framework to overcome the classic anthropocentric/eco-centric dichotomy characterizing literature in conservation science and human rights theory, as well as to foster the protection of local communities’ contribution to biodiversity protection.

Цел на проекта
Is currentIs current legal protection adequate to prevent local communities in the EU from abandoning their traditional and environmentally sustainable practices? Environmental protection is increasingly gaining recognition as essential for the fulfilment of human rights. However it remains unclear whether human rights offer sufficient protection for local communities that contribute to environmental protection. The project will break new ground compared to current scholarship, which focuses on indigenous peoples in developing countries. It will focus on non-indigenous local communities in the EU, investigating the intersection of international, EU and national law. The experienced researcher (ER) will build on her research on biocultural rights (monograph published by Oxford University Press) to develop an innovative theoretical and legal framework – Rights for Ecosystem Services (RES) – according to which local communities could be recognized the rights needed to maintain their sustainable practices, in so far as they are bound to remain sustainable. If the hypothesis is correct, RES would be ‘rights with duties’, leading to the identification of needed legal and policy changes to protect the environment and the interests of sustainable local communities. Methodologically, the ER will originally integrate: legal theory; analysis of international, EU and national law; conservation science; religious studies; empirical legal research (fieldwork). The ER will be supervised by Prof. Elisa Morgera (world-leading expert in international and EU environmental law and human rights) and hosted at Strathclyde Centre for Environmental Law and Governance (SCELG) - centre of excellence on human rights and the environment. SCELG will benefit from the ER’s expertise in legal theory, religious studies and conservation biology, and the ER will be engaged in embedded peer-learning and peer-review approaches to develop research, teaching, knowledge exchange, and policy advice skills.
