Environmental Personhood Around the World (explainer)

This video outlines how countries have begun granting legal personhood to rivers, forests, and other natural entities. These laws allow nature to hold rights, appear in court through guardians, and receive formal legal protection. Philosophical and cultural foundations, including Indigenous worldviews, shape this shift by recognizing nature as a living community rather than property. The video presents examples from different regions to show how this legal concept is spreading globally.
