On this edition of Your Call’s One Planet Series, we discuss The Rights of Nature movement, one of the fastest-growing environmental and social movements working to secure legal rights for ecosystems and other parts of the natural world.
Led by Indigenous peoples, the rights of nature movement has grown dramatically over the last two decades, from constitutional protections in Ecuador to national legislation and court rulings in Spain, New Zealand, Panama, India and beyond.
