The Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth

The Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth recognizes that the Earth is a living entity with inherent rights to exist, flourish, and be restored. It emphasizes that nature’s well-being is essential for human survival and calls for respecting ecosystems, biodiversity, and natural processes. The declaration advocates sharing resources fairly, preventing environmental harm, and ensuring that all living beings are treated with respect. Essentially, it frames Earth not just as a resource, but as a living community whose health depends on our mindful stewardship and collective responsibility.
