Sustainability and the Rights of Nature in Practice is the
much-needed complementary volume to Sustainability and the Rights
of Nature: An Introduction (CRC Press, May 2017). The first book
laid out the international precursors for the Rights of Nature
doctrine and described the changes required to create a Rights of
Nature framework that supports Nature in a sustainable relationship
rather than as an exploited resource. This follow-up work provides
practitioners from diverse cultures around the world an opportunity
to describe their own projects, successes, and challenges in moving
toward a legal personhood for Nature. It includes contributions
from Nepal, New Zealand, Canadian Native American cultures,
Kiribati, the United States and Scotland, amongst others, by
practitioners working on projects that can be integrated into a
Rights of Nature framework. The authors also tackle required
changes to shift the paradigm, such as thinking of Nature in a
sacred manner, reorienting Nature's rights and human rights, the
conceptualization of restoration, and the removal of large-scale
energy infrastructure. Curated by experts in the field, this
expansive collection of papers will prove invaluable to a wide
array of policymakers and administrators, environmental advocates
and conservation groups, tribal land managers, and communities
seeking to create or maintain a sustainable relationship with
Nature. Features: Addresses existing projects that are successfully
implementing a Rights of Nature legal framework, including the
difference it makes in practice Presents the voices of
practitioners not often recognized who are working in innovative
ways towards sustainability and the need to grant a voice to Nature
in human decision-making Explores new ideas from the insights of a
diverse range of cultures on how to grant legal personhood to
Nature, restrain damaging human activity, create true
sustainability, and glimpse how a Rights of Nature paradigm can
work in different societies Details the potential pitfalls to
Rights of Nature governance and land use decisions from people
doing the work, as well as their solutions Discusses the basic
human needs for shelter, food, and community in entirely new ways:
in relationship with Nature, rather than in conquest of it Chapter
