It's a report that a river in NZ has been given legal "human status". Can this be true? Surely not!

Yes. It's fantastic. This is the best route for ensuring the ongoing protection of important ecosystems and for ensuring our grandchildren can still marvel at some of the wonders of the planet we have enjoyed. It falls on us to adopt a "whatever works" strategy, imo.

India becomes second country (after NZ) to give rivers human status.

On Monday, a court in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand declared the Yamuna and Ganges rivers "living entities."
