“Rights of Nature is a way of re-thinking our relationship with nature – from one of dominance to one of sharing, caring, respect and interdependency. It can also act as a catalyst to shift our thinking from an extractive economy towards a regenerative economy.

The idea of nature having rights is not new. Nature has rights. What is new is how we can intervene using a Rights of Nature lens to protect nature and to recognise the intrinsic rights of ecosystems and species to evolve, flourish, and regenerate.

Affording Rights to Nature is now vital because our laws, policies and environmental systems were never really designed to protect the environment.”
