Description
Summary:Environmental law takes regulations out of its traditional positivist discourse and exposes it in the diverse and complex natural setting. Environmental laws are between the paradox of ecology and the legal position. Regulations establish official discourses of what is prohibited, permitted and obligatory. Mexico has regulations on conservation and use of wild fauna. The continuous extinction, trafficking, and way of exploitation of the fauna motivate to question the content of the laws. Based on the critical analysis of the discourse, this work analyzes the discourses of the General Law on Wildlife, its regulations and those of inspectors who supervise law compliance. Among the results, contrary to the objectives of wildlife conservation, the speech reveals that the law focuses more on regulating the commercialization of species than on their protection.
