Exploring Rights of Nature for the Charles River

RIGHTS OF NATUREADVOCACY
Written By Charles River

Thank you to all who attended our fireside chat on Rights of Nature with Hartman Deetz of the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, and moderated by Boston Area Sustainability Group, at Venture Cafe in Cambridge. Speakers discussed the origins of the Rights of Nature movement, how the movement aligns with Indigenous worldviews, legal questions surrounding these ideas, and how this can all come together to better protect the Charles River.
