What if nature wasn’t treated as property, but as a living relative with rights? Around the world, the Rights of Nature movement is reshaping environmental law by recognizing ecosystems’ rights to exist, regenerate, and be protected because they are alive and because a healthy planet is essential to human survival. These laws are increasingly shaping legal precedent for climate action and grounding nature-based solutions in enforceable rights. This shift reflects what Indigenous Peoples have long practiced: a relationship with the Earth rooted in reciprocity, not extraction. Nature’s value is both intrinsic and life-sustaining. When ecosystems are cared for and used at a pace that allows them to renew, abundance follows. Rights of Nature isn’t about new language. It’s about remembering old wisdom and building laws that protect life in a changing climate. #WildlifeWednesday
