  • Summary

    This chapter addresses the relevance of the peacetime qualification of some groups of animals as ‘endangered species’ in situations of armed conflict, both international and non-international. The chapter first gives an overview of the lex lata on endangered animal species in international environmental law. It discusses a number of options to enhance the protection of ‘endangered species’ in situations of armed conflict. By way of interpretation and by way of analogy, the rationale of peacetime protection of ‘endangered species’ can be integrated into international humanitarian law. The chapter finally argues that the protection of ‘endangered species’ in situations of armed conflict can be improved by a protection similar to specially protected objects such as cultural objects and livestock.
