Rights of nature and naturalist ontology: 
do we need indigenous people to defend the rights of nature?

Lieu : Salle S1, 2e étage, 28 rue des Saints-Pères 75007 

 
While the increasing number of cases of natural entities being granted legal personality that have been taking effect for more than a decade can be seen as a global movement, it is essential to locate the focus within non-European nations and territories.

As a result of normative hybridisations (Geslin, 2020), these emerging solutions constitute an innovative toolbox, on which many proposals are now based in Europe: the Rhône, Loire, Tavignanu and Têt rivers in France, the Wadden Sea and the Maas River in the Netherlands, the Minor Sea in Spain.

Beyond the transposition issues, the emergence of this European wave raises questions about the applicability of the rights of nature in the absence of local legal pluralism. What happens to key figures such as the guardian, the community, the indigenous person, the riparian? From which epistemological repertoires are the solutions drawn? Do we need indigenous people to defend the rights of nature?
