The Rights of Nature: A redefinition of human-nature relations

Introduction
Can rivers and forests have their own rights? The Rights of Nature movement advocates for recognizing ecosystems as legal entities to more effectively prevent environmental damage. But what does this mean for our legal systems, our understanding of nature, and potential conflicts? A global perspective on visions, debates, and practical approaches.
