is ecocide a recognized and punishable infraction of federal, state, or international law?

Question

if so, what are the terms?
if not, why not?

Answer 1

The term itself, no. But, hold your breath for a little bit and I'm sure the posey-sniffers and tree-huggers will make it one.

The EPA regulates commercial and private contamination of the environment. I'm not sure if people can actually go to prison, but after the EPA fines them, they'll probably wished they had.

Answer 2

Recognized ? It's encouraged.



Seemingly.
