I’ve never encountered a more perfect example of how screwed up our conversation about land access & responsibility is, & how leniently we view environmental crime by landowners, than this scene I encountered on the River Roding today

Great to chat with Brontie Maria Ansell from Lawyers for Nature about the challenges #EppingForest faces from high levels of #pollution, adjacent development & planning applications which don't properly consider the Forest, and what can be done to protect it. Thank you! #LoveEppingForest

One of our brilliant new team members has written this… take a look

Really loved being a part of this amazing group of people at Dartington Trust this week. Let’s see where this goes next! Things are moving fast on #rightsofnature for uk rivers! Loved that the organisers built in a dip in the river first thing in the morning!

Heading over to Threads now. Haven’t enjoyed Twitter for a good few months and it feels more pointless every time I log in. Come and find me @brontiemaria same as on here!

The "Muddying the waters" Panel from #PlantedCountry Stourhead in June has now been released… An absolute pleasure to muddy the waters alongside @TimSmedley Nick Measham Brontie Maria Ansell and Sam Peters 💚 youtu.be/qpulboGzmz8

We are proud to publish a new research report, “Realising Rights of Nature: Understanding the Variety of Legal Instruments”, by Alex May (Alex May). lawyersfornature.com/report-realisi…

Really proud of our team Lawyers for Nature check out this detailed report on #rightsofnature by our brilliant Alex May

Really proud of this incredible work on mapping #rightsofnature by Lawyers for Nature…Alex May is our superstar researcher and this is well worth a read.

Lovely to be at the BBC today talking about the concepts of nature positive governance and rights of nature. Asking “but what if Nature DID have rights?” #climatecreatives

From Simon Armitage bringing tears to our eyes, to Brontie Maria Ansell suggesting that nature could have legal rights, and so much in-between, every session at last week's #ClimateCreatives was fascinating & insightful. ▶️ Watch them all on our website now: bit.ly/ClimateCreativ…

Me chatting about rights of trees in the Guardian today with Damien Gayle - thanks a lovely interview! #rightsofnature

In today's The Irish Times I outline the case for a constitutional right to a clean environment and rights for nature irishtimes.com/opinion/2023/1…

What if nature had rights? What do we owe the earth? 'This is a Forest' exhibition runs in #Leeds until the end of Nov. LEEDS 2023 Leeds Council News Moda With special thanks to Brontie Maria Ansell Lawyers for Nature Yorkshire Bylines yorkshirebylines.co.uk/region/new-mul…

Just a quick note to say I’m going to move over to Bluesky as much as possible. I now find this space chaotic and uninteresting. Most of my favourite voices have gone silent. This is me over there, it seems a lot better so far. bsky.app/profile/bronti…

So proud that our team (led by Jessie Mond-Wedd) are behind this important campaign. Until we understand the interdependency of all life (including ours) on nature we will continue on a heartbreaking path. Humans are a part of nature.

Great write up on our #wearenature campaign by our Jessie Mond Wedd!

Brilliant article Tom Oliver very thoughtful. Thanks for write up.

🇬🇧 🌱 The #RightsofNature movement is taking root in UK, even in a not-so-optimal legal and political context, through a tight-knit network and growing local and national campaigns - all explored in this article by Paul Powlesland & Alex May. lawyersfornature.com/the-english-ri…

2/ Lawyers like Lawyers for Nature Paul Powlesland have been calling for nature to be granted rights for years, to better defend habitats and species from destruction. A Rights of Nature Act would transform how we currently relate to nature as mere 'property' or a 'resource'.
