In recent decades, there have been growing debates across the world about the protection of the environment and animals. These issues are managed through legislation, administrative rules, and, increasingly, court decisions. This special issue seeks to understand and analyse the way in which human relationships to animals or the environment are shaped – or not – by legal action, and how people make use of juridical frameworks to actively engage in the protection of nature; how this issue is handled by lawyers, activists, and the state; and how, in other words, nature is ‘judicialised’ in relation to ecological or ethical concerns and as part of a will to manage it. This special issue of Civilisations takes an anthropological approach, through various case studies. It brings together contributions on how different actors – activists, scientists, police officers or legal communities – handle the environmental damage caused by human activity or the threats it poses to animal species. How is the management of nature debated within the framework of legal constraints, and how are these constraints themselves subject to controversy?
