臺北高等行政法院111年度訴字第867號判決，首次肯認私部門團體，可以替野生動物進行訴訟，具有當事人適格。本次判決，其背後所開啟的，可能是一次當代環境法所的典範轉移問題。

Abstract

The Taipei High Administrative Court Judgment No. 867 of 2022 is the first to recognize that private sector organizations may bring lawsuits on behalf of wild animals, thereby granting them standing in litigation. This ruling potentially marks the beginning of a paradigm shift in contemporary environmental law.

It raises the question of whether the traditional human-centered perspective—treating humans as the sole subjects of environmental protection—can adequately respond to the profouqnd impacts humanity has inflicted on nature in the Anthropocene. This article first analyzes the reasoning and significance of the judgment, then, drawing on Professor Stone’s arguments, explores the concept of the rights of nature and considers its possible future development in Taiwan.
