Presented without comment: Trees Have Rights Too

Today is the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights – we celebrate and call now for Planetary Rights.

We have chosen today’s date as the official date of our launch of the campaign’s website – welcome!

Just as the humanitarian crisis of the Second World War gave birth to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 60 years ago in 1948, so now we have a planetary crisis that needs to be addressed with equal urgency. Now is the time to call for a Universal Declaration of Planetary Rights. Let today be a date to commence fighting for planetary rights.

Trees Have Rights Too is taking their petition to the United Nations today. Do trees have rights? Discuss amongst yourselves.
