Legislative Assistance
The Legislative Working Group, lead by The Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, is to put in place enforceable legal structures which recognize the Rights of Nature at community, sub-national, and national levels of government around the world.
International Advocacy
International Advocacy Working Group brings together people and organisations from around the world who are advocating the acceptance and implementation of rights for nature at the international level. A key focus area is promoting the adoption by the United Nations of the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth which was proclaimed on 22 April 2010 by some 35,000 participants in the People’s World Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth.
Communications and Learning
Communications and Learning provides outreach to educate and transform mass consciousness to a paradigm in which rights of nature are recognized and enforceable.
Ancestral Knowledge
Ancestral Knowledge Group provides a platform for an intercultural dialogue, led by Indigenous voices, on the meaning, the implications and the correct implementation of the Rights of Nature. At the same time, the Alliance offers its support to the various political struggles faced by Indigenous peoples all over the world in defending their ancestral homelands from cultural and environmental destruction.
