[object Object],It is evident that environmental awareness is increasing globally, resulting an influence on emerging environmental jurisprudence. The Courts appear to be ready to be proactive and deliver judgments that should result in greater environmental protection or reduced environmental harm. As environmental jurisprudence develops to provide the opportunity, members of the public are showing a willingness to take on the role of environmental advocates, notably through public interest litigation and therefore environmental jurisprudence appears to be moving in a positive direction
