Documentary abstract — original language

Chapter 5 puts the theoretical conclusions of the first four chapters to work in a test case. A Legalist account of nature’s personhood is applied in an Arctic context, where there are relatively few pending efforts to give nature personhood or rights. In particular, the Laponia World Heritage Site in northern Sweden is a legally protected area governed by various laws intended to protect the natural and cultural history of the region. As it presently stands, though, while there are provisions in place regarding nature, they are not ones that give rights or personhood to Laponia itself. Exploring what the present legal regimes are capable of, and where they may fall short, it is shown how giving Laponia rights of its own may strengthen the various protections that are already in place.
