Nature's Rights

Nature's Rights refer to the idea that the natural world—plants, animals, rivers, forests—has intrinsic worth and rights independent of human use or ownership. This perspective suggests that ecosystems possess inherent value and should be protected and respected regardless of their utility to humans. Recognizing Nature's Rights aims to promote environmental stewardship, ensuring natural entities are preserved and safeguarded from harm or exploitation, much like how individual rights protect people. It emphasizes that the health of our environment is fundamental to the well-being of all life, including humanity.
