Thanks for writing this, Emma; I hadn't heard of the Rights of Nature movement or the tribunals. Mining certainly isn't going away, and as you point out, is necessary in the movement away from fossil fuels--can we get to a place of extraction without exploitation?
Thanks for reading, Bev! I do believe in creative solutions and collective action to reach that goal. The Rights of Nature is a powerful framework for holding exploitative corporations accountable, so I look forward to it gaining even more awareness!
