Addressing the environmental crisis, *Wild Law – In Practice* aims to transition Earth Jurisprudence from theory into practice. The book argues that current legal frameworks perpetuate ecological issues and must be radically reconfigured to ensure a viable human presence on Earth.

Authored by Peter Burdon, a Senior Lecturer at Adelaide Law School, the work draws on his extensive expertise in ecological law.

Since 2005, Burdon has also actively contributed to Friends of the Earth Adelaide's Clean Futures Collective.
