Have you ever considered that Nature has rights? Can a river, or a mountain range or a glacier have standing in a court of law. It is a huge movement across the planet. With the recognition of inherent Nature Rights, Nature is given "personhood," in much the way that corporations were granted that status in the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United. Science tells us that without the perfect systems of a natural world, unharmed by human hands, humans and all species of animal, plants and fish, not to mention insects and microbes cannot long live. And, if they done survive, neither will we. Is it time to recognize Nature and become a guardian, for all of our sakes.
