Online | Rights of Nature – From Anthropocentrism to Ecocentrism

In this webinar organized by Riverkeeper, CEE Executive Director Karenna Gore, a Riverkeeper board member, will be joined by Thomas Linzey of the Center for Democratic and Environmental Rights and Riverkeeper Advisory Board Member Steven “Owl” Smith of the Ramapo Munsee Nation to discuss the movement for the “Rights of Nature.” This movement is focused on securing legal standing for natural entities such as rivers, forests, and whole ecosystems in a way that provides a necessary counterbalance to the legal doctrine of corporate personhood.
