Rights of Nature Movement

The Rights of Nature Movement advocates recognizing ecosystems, animals, and natural entities as having intrinsic legal rights, similar to humans. Rather than viewing nature merely as property or resources to be exploited, this movement seeks to establish laws that protect the environment’s health, integrity, and balance. This approach aims to promote sustainable coexistence, accountability for environmental harm, and the preservation of natural systems for future generations by granting legal standing and rights to nature itself. It represents a shift toward valuing nature’s intrinsic worth beyond its economic utility.
