THE OBJECT OF ENVIRONMENTAL LAW

Abstract

Frequently different subjects to be studied are assigned to Environmental Law. In this article, starting from the definition of Environmental Law, and from the analysis of the concept of Biological Diversity, on the bases of a dialectical and systemic vision of them, where we express that Biological Diversity is more than matter, it is also, the expression and the interrelation of the processes which make possible than matter could be expressed under a new quality, Life, to whom the Environmental Law must pay close attention, without expect the exclusion of the guardianship of the abiotic and without restrict the legal protection to the rest of the species with independence of man. The recognition of the conservation of Biological Diversity as the object of Environmental Law, allow us to expand in a gradual and constant way its area of attention, starting from the identification of the process which precipitates an analysis of the reality where we live.
