Biography
Andrew L. R. Jackson is an Assistant Professor in environmental and planning law, UCD Sutherland School of Law, University College Dublin, Ireland. He is a graduate of Oxford University (BA, Law) and of Cambridge University (LLM). He also holds an MSc in Biodiversity and Conservation from Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and a PhD from TCD on EU environmental policy and law. He previously worked for the international law firm Slaughter and May in London and Paris; for the UK government's legal service, in the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra); and with NGOs Friends of the Irish Environment and An Taisce, the National Trust for Ireland, where he was Natural Environment Officer and in-house Solicitor. Dr Jackson has been involved in public interest environmental and planning cases for many years, including before the Irish, English and EU courts.
"Dr Andrew Jackson is to be congratulated on this remarkable book. At a time when the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union is dominating the political agenda, his comprehensive study of the origins, negotiating history and implementation of the EU’s Birds and Habitats Directives bears witness to the huge impact – at least in the field of nature protection – that EU legislation has had." - Stanley Johnson, Author, Environmental Campaigner and former MEP, UK.
"Overall, the book provides an exceptionally thorough analysis of the origin of the Natura 2000 network and the long process of its development and implementation". - Rebecca Nesbit, The Niche, British Ecological Society
