Thomas Linzey has worked with the first places in the world to establish legal rights of nature - from a small town in Pennsylvania to the national constitution of Ecuador. His organization, Center for Democratic and Environmental Rights (www.centerforenvironmentalrights.org) works with grassroots, tribal, and NGO partners and governments across the globe to develop, implement, and enforce Rights of Nature laws. Following in the footsteps of the civil rights and women’s rights movements, it is time for our international legal system to recognize the Rights of Nature. This is paradigm shifting work. Listen, learn and be moved to action.
