Abstract

Rivers worldwide are subject to pollution, degradations in water quality, and threats to biodiversity. Granting rivers legal personhood merges contemporary legal instruments with Indigenous practices as a means of environmental protection. However, an initiative that goes beyond individual nation-states is required to create comprehensive representation of nonhuman nature on a global scale.
