under Roman law, wildlife were viewed as: res nullis. This translates to "no one's property", or
the property of the commons. So, game species were property of whoever captured them for
food or other uses. under English common law, wildlife were viewed as ratione privilegii---the
wildlife belonged (or were 'rationed') to the 'privileged' or the crown. Nobility were given rights to
by the king to game species (e.g., Robin Hood was always getting in trouble for taking the
King's deer!), no matter who owned the land. The Magna Carta, 1215 AD, signified a rebellion
against the dictatorial powers of the King. Among MANY changes to the way royalty operated,
the document expressed that kings could no longer grant fishing rights to nobles (landowners
now had rights). The problem was that few of the 'public' were landowners. But, the transfer of
ownership from Crown to 'people' is important to our modern laws. - ANS-How did Roman law
influence European views of wildlife ownership?
the magna carta guarded " the public and and common right of fishing in navigable waters." -
this decision codified the of the public trust doctrine which states that U.S fish and wildlife
belong to all people, and the stewardship of these is intrusted to the individual states -
ANS-What role did the Magna Carta play in the issue of wildlife ownership/access?
Era before European influence (12000 YBP - 1600)
Era of Abundance (1600-1850)
Era of Exploitation (1850-1900)
Era of Protection (1900-1929)
