About
I practise as an environmental attorney (see www.winstanleycullinan.co.za ) and as an environmental governance consultant (see www.enactinternational.com ) and have worked in many countries. My particular passion is convincing people that in order to create a viable future for human societies and many other species we must completely rethink how we regulate ourselves. We must re-design our governance structures (e.g. legal and political systems) on the basis of the reality that human societies exist within a wider natural system of order with which we must comply if we are to flourish and not perish. This will require developing new philosophies of law and governance that are consistent with the fundamental priniciples or "laws" of the Universe (i.e. the "Great Jurisprudence") and are not anthropocentric (i.e. "Earth Jurisprudence"). We must then apply this philosophy to develop "wild laws" and personal practices that enable us to play a mutually beneficial role within the wider Earth Community of which we are part. These ideas are heavily influenced by the work of Thomas Berry and are explained in my book "Wild Law". These concepts are now being further developed and applied by many people including the Earth Jurisprudence Centre in Florida, the Community Environmental Law Foundation (CELDF) in Pennsylvania, members of the UK Environmental Law Association (UKELA) in the United Kingdom and NGOs that are part of the African Biodiversity Network.
