That there are certain 'rights of Nature' intrinsic to landscapes and life-forms around the world is a revolutionary assertion, yet an assertion with abundant and venerable precedents. By the logic of this movement, nonhuman beings have intrinsic existential rights and, by extension, should possess certain rights protecting their survival and interests within the evolving legal practices of modern nations. Concepts akin to human rights are thus extended to populations of wild nonhuman species, and to landforms such as mountains or rivers, on which many other lives depend. These entities might then possess rights to representation in legal arenas akin to personhood - so that certain keystone landforms or living beings cannot be destroyed for the profit of human individuals without overwhelmingly compelling reasons, nor damaged without efforts to directly compensate nonhuman 'claimants' for damages.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aConservation of the environment2bicssc 7aEnvironment law2bicssc 7aEnvironmental science, engineering & technology2bicssc  aCameron, Chris, Follette, La, Maser, Nature, Practice, Rights, Sustainability1 aLa Follette, Cameron4oth1 aMaser, Chris4edt1 aMaser, Chris4oth0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/7065170zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c92780d92780
