An interesting program discussing the concept of 'legal personhood' to nature and natural things, a concept common to many indigenous cultures. Its already been enacted several times now into law in New Zealand in recent years, borrowing heavily
from Maori concepts, and done by the previous right of centre Government there.
One standout for me was the concept to codify into law the 'rights of a river simply to be a river'. One can only think of the poor Darling.........
