Land and Forest Rights of Amazonian Indigenous Peoples from a National and International Perspective

Its in the context of international law, property law theory, and forest and soil sciences. Within this scope and against the historical background, the recent interrelations between the Amazonian indigenous peoples’ land, forest, and community forest management rights and their importance for the self-determination of indigenous peoples in the Amazonian region are examined.

By bringing together international law with national law, natural resources law with property law, and law with natural sciences, the author sheds new light on the complex topic of indigenous peoples’ rights closely entwined with the conservation of the Amazonian rainforest.
