Rights of Nature Module – Ecotrust Canada

Ecotrust Canada’s Rights of Nature module, part of its Indigenous Homelands Toolkit, provides foundational information on the Rights of Nature movement and its relevance to Indigenous communities. It explains how legal recognition of nature’s rights can empower Indigenous communities to protect their homelands and offers examples of global legislative approaches. The module emphasizes the potential of this framework to support culturally legitimate relationships to land, differing from European models centered on exploitation and exclusion. It also discusses how recognizing nature’s rights can influence housing and homelands governance within Indigenous territories. citeturn0search0
