NO FLY ZONE: Protecting Pachamama - The Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature

Legal systems around the world are recognizing non-human relatives as legal subjects and rights holders, as part of a larger movement to reorient mankind from an exploitative relationship with nature to one that honors the deep interrelation of all life and contributes to the health and integrity of the natural environment.

The Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature is a global network of organizations and individuals committed to the universal adoption and implementation of legal systems that recognize, respect and enforce “Rights of Nature”. The Alliance’s objective is to encourage the recognition and effective implementation of Rights of Nature through the creation of a world network of individuals and organizations that, through active cooperation, collective action and legal tools based on Rights of Nature, can change the direction to which humanity is taking our planet.
