A Historic Step Towards Defending Antarctica’s Rights – Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature (GARN)

The Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature proposes a bold shift in how the world relates to Antarctica. The initiative calls for a declaration that recognizes the continent as a living entity with legal rights. Rather than treating Antarctica as a geopolitical zone, this vision places ecological health at the center, thus seeking to confront the limitations of the current Treaty System and promote global responsibility for protecting one of Earth’s last wild places.
