Rights for nature

Petycja skierowana do: European Parliament, Latvian Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Environmental Protection and Regional Development

Rights of Nature gives ecosystems a legal identity of their own – the right to exist, to remain healthy, and to be restored when damaged. 
This would mean that these ecosystems would have the right to exist and to be restored. Each protected ecosystem would be assigned a guardian — a citizens' committee, a municipality, or a recognised nature conservation organisation — that could act on its behalf in court and monitor its health, in the same way that a trustee acts on behalf of a person.
