Happy #WorldBiodiversityDay Justin Trudeau!
#COP16 is less than 5 months away and there's still no strategy to halt & reverse nature loss.

Urge the federal government to finally pass a strong nature law

Sign the petition to urge the federal government to finally pass a strong nature law.

A weakening of environmental protections and favouring fossil fuel interests.

"Sadly, environment policy took a step backwards today. An announcement by Minister Tanya Plibersek's about 'protecting the environment' was exactly what big coal and gas companies asked for. The Minister actually gave a free pass to fossil fuel companies. I'm writing to ask you to join me in calling or writing to Minister Plibersek and Prime Minister Albanese to demand stronger environmental protections."

Thomas Linzey on Nature's Rights and Self-Owning Land | Frontiers of Commoning, with David Bollier

Thomas Linzey, Senior Legal Counsel at the Center for Democratic and Environmental Rights, has been at the forefront of ambitious campaigns to create novel legal doctrines for "community rights," "the rights of nature," and more recently, "self-owning land." The primary goal is to expand democratic self-determination, especially at the local level, and provide stronger legal protections for land, water, animals, and other elements of living ecosystems.
