"Critiquing the Western discourse of global extinction and biodiversity Revenant Ecologies promotes new ways of articulating the ethical enormity of global extinction. Arguing that Western conservation approaches not only ignore but also magnify powerful forms of structural violence, Audra Mitchell fuses political ecology, global ethics, and violence studies to offer concrete, practical alternatives"-- "Engaging a broad spectrum of ecological thought to articulate the ethical scale of global extinction As global rates of plant and animal extinctions mount, anxieties about the future of the earth's ecosystems are fueling ever more ambitious efforts at conservation, which draw on Western scientific principles to manage species and biodiversity. In Revenant Ecologies, Audra Mitchell argues that these responses not only ignore but also magnify powerful forms of structural violence like colonialism, racism, genocide, extractivism, ableism, and heteronormativity, ultimately contributing to the destruction of unique life forms and ecosystems. Critiquing the Western discourse of global extinction and biodiversity through the lens of diverse Indigenous philosophies and other marginalized knowledge systems, Revenant Ecologies promotes new ways of articulating the ethical enormity of global extinction. Mitchell offers an ambitious framework-(bio)plurality-that focuses on nurturing unique, irreplaceable worlds, relations, and ecosystems, aiming to transform global ecological-political relations, including through processes of land return and critically confronting discourses on "human extinction." Highlighting the deep violence that underpins ideas of "extinction," "conservation," and "biodiversity," Revenant Ecologies fuses political ecology, global ethics, and violence studies to offer concrete, practical alternatives. It also foregrounds the ways that multi-life-form worlds are actively defying the forms of violence that drive extinction-and that shape global efforts to manage it.

L'une des fonctions classiques du droit est de rendre possible la coexistence entre les membres de la société. La crise environnementale fait apparaître l'une de ses fonctions encore plus essentielles : veiller à ce que le monde reste habitable. Le droit de l'environnement a-t-il les ressources techniques et conceptuelles adaptées pour le garantir ? L'auteur propose des pistes différentes. En premier lieu, le droit peut créer des droits et les conférer à des entités naturelles non-humaines. Elles acquièrent alors une représentation légale. Ce mouvement a pris une importance internationale dans les dernières années. D'autres pistes internes sont à étudier. Des domaines du droit a priori étrangers à la protection de l'environnement peuvent y contribuer de manière innovante : les droits de succession, si l'on considère la terre comme possédant ses occupants plutôt que l'inverse ; le droit de la santé, si l'on considère l'air que l'on respire comme un prolongement de notre corps ; ou le droit de la propriété intellectuelle appliqué aux productions de la nature. Ce livre montre comment le droit contient les ressources d'une relation renouvelée avec les entités de la nature.
