DECLARATION

We are asking the UN to formally engage in drafting and adopting a Declaration of Rights of Mother Earth to complement the Human Rights Declaration. A Declaration acknowledging Nature as a living being, deserving of rights and protection just like humans.

Under current law, Nature is treated as a commodity and has no standing in court. This void in the law is at the core of the depletion and destruction endured by Nature today and must be corrected.

We propose the UN use the Universal Declaration of Rights of Mother Earth from the people’s conference in Cochabamba as inspiration when drafting the UN Declaration of Rights of Mother Earth. This Declaration  includes the wisdom and knowledge of people from ancient and modern societies from around the world and points the way to aligning our laws and ways of living with those of Nature.
