Imagine, sitting in a courtroom, defending a tree in a rainforest about to be beheaded and thereby potentially disturbing a delicate balance that has been developed throughout the last 3.8 billion years. How would you favour the ruling? Imagine if we knew nature rights as we know human rights. Today, there are only human rights. What if we extended principles of justice, participation, involvement and inclusion so vital to our human race to all other species that work to keep us all in balance on a thriving planet? That is what embracing a planetary perspective entails.
This is how we work with biodiversity
- We represent all human and non-human species when we make decisions that concern the place we live in
- We use the means of art, architecture and design to ensure that spaces have an aesthetic quality that enables all species present to live and flourish
- We ensure a holistic perspective, where the individual well-being can only be measured in relation to the collective well-being.
