Circumfusa. A Civil Circumscription of the ”Things Around Us”: Ecological Compensation

Summary/Abstract: As has been shown by a part of legal scholarship, ecological compensation is far from being a legal technicality. Rather, the subject of compensation refocuses our attention on some „critical” points, such as the morality of capitalizing on the environment and the motivation for only valuing certain of its elements (areas differentiated by geographical, abiotic and biotic characteristics). The advantages of conserving natural heritage by designating protected areas are numerous, but there is also (at least) one major disadvantage, if we consider landscape fragmentation. „Suspension” in time and space, previously a textbook requirement associated with the status of natural heritage, disappeared in favour of immediacy (at least, after the attestation of climate changes), implicitly questioning ecological compensation. Environmental protection has become a problem of projecting links of regenerative potential between the spaces transformed into heritage and the other spaces, as well as the local communities. In simpler words, a „problem” of reconnecting with the circumfusa, the ”things around us”, maybe?
