Recognizing the Rights of Nature

KPFA - Terra Verde

The Rights of Nature is one of the fastest-growing environmental justice movements in the world. Based on traditional Indigenous knowledge, the legal framework recognizes nature and ecosystems as inherently rights-bearing entities with legal standing in court, rather than treating nature as property.

On this episode of Terra Verde, Shannon Biggs and Isabella Zizi, from the Bay Area-based organization Movement Rights, and Crystal Cavalier-Keck, Co-Founder of Seven Directions of Service, join host Fiona McLeod to talk about the interconnectedness between the movements for Rights of Nature, Indigenous rights, and climate justice.
