River rights

How the rights of nature are different than the SDG framework But the Rights of Nature movement is different than the sdgs. It’s a growing movement to enshrine a legal instrument that describes the inherent rights associated with ecosystems and species. As such, the Rights of Nature concept challenges post-Enlightenment laws as grounded in a framework of nature as a “resource”, to be owned, used, and degraded. In this framework, humankind is the central or most important element of existence. If nature is given ‘personhood’, then legally, it would be equal to humankind, but this poses problems.
