How to Listen When Nature Speaks — Weave News
A new toolkit from Talking Rivers invites organizations to rethink their relationship with the living world—through language, governance, and the simple act of listening.

“This is a win for life, for nature, for Earth defenders,” said Natalia Greene, director of the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature.

Greene was speaking about Ecuador's affirmation of its 2008 constitution, which recognizes nature has inherent rights to exist and regenerate.
