Recognizing the Rights of Nature

The Rights of Nature is one of the fastest-growing environmental justice movements in the world. Based on traditional Indigenous knowledge, the legal framework recognizes nature and ecosystems as inherently rights-bearing entities with legal standing in court, rather than treating nature as property. On this episode of Terra Verde, Shannon Biggs and Isabella Zizi, from the Bay Area-based organization Movement Rights, and Crystal Cavalier-Keck, Co-Founder of Seven Directions of Service, join host Fiona McLeod to talk about the interconnectedness between the movements for Rights of Nature, Indigenous rights, and climate justice. The post Recognizing the Rights of Nature appeared first on KPFA.
