2/ Lawyers like @LawForNature @paulpowlesland have been calling for nature to be granted rights for years, to better defend habitats and species from destruction.
A Rights of Nature Act would transform how we currently relate to nature as mere 'property' or a 'resource'.

🇬🇧 🌱 The #RightsofNature movement is taking root in UK, even in a not-so-optimal legal and political context, through a tight-knit network and growing local and national campaigns - all explored in this article by @paulpowlesland & @AlexJFMaizy.

From Simon Armitage bringing tears to our eyes, to @BrontieMaria suggesting that nature could have legal rights, and so much in-between, every session at last week's #ClimateCreatives was fascinating & insightful.

Great to chat with @BrontieMaria from @LawForNature about the challenges #EppingForest faces from high levels of #pollution, adjacent development & planning applications which don't properly consider the Forest, and what can be done to protect it. Thank you!

I’ve never encountered a more perfect example of how screwed up our conversation about land access & responsibility is, & how leniently we view environmental crime by landowners, than this scene I encountered on the River Roding today

One Just Stop Oil protester will serve 3 years in prison for causing a public nuisance. Another 2 years and 7 months.
Just a reminder that the daughter of an MP was killed while cycling - and the person responsible was given *12 months*. theguardian.com/environment/…

We are expanding again @EssexLawSchool @Uni_of_Essex. We have 4 calls out. I *desperately* want us to hire someone in #BizHumanRights for one of these posts (I'm not on the hiring committee) & BHR *can* fit into any of these calls depending on your background / lens within BHR.

🔙🇪🇨 Today, 14 years ago, Ecuador codified #RightsofNature into their national Constitution, paving the way to show the rest of the world what it looks like when a river, a cloud forest, or any species files a lawsuit claiming their rights have been violated… and wins!
