This book explores the concept of multi-species relationships and suggests&nbsp; &nbsp;critical systemic&nbsp; pathways to&nbsp; protect shared habitats. This book discusses how the eradication of species as a result of rapid urbanisation places humanity at risk. This book demonstrates how narrow anthropocentrism has focused on the rights of human beings at the expense of other species and the environment. This book explores a priori norms and a posteriori measures and indicators to&nbsp; include and protect multiple species. This book aims to strengthen institutional capacity and powers to&nbsp; address and extend the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda by drawing on local wisdom but also the need to implement laws to prevent ecocide. This book highlights that our fragile interdependence requires a recognition of our hybridity and interconnectedness within the web of life and&nbsp; suggests ways to reframe&nbsp; policy within and beyond the nation state to support living systems ofwhich we are a strand.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Introduces a new critical systems approach of multi-species relationships Explores collaborative approaches, drawing on diverse ways of knowing, and citizen centered self-governance of ecological footprints that can support regional governance in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals Highlights culturally diverse ways of interconnectedness, caring and stewardship to provide practical lessons on re-generation
