Following Nature on a Transformative Journey Away From the Mean Streets of D.C. [10]

As a young man, Rodney Stotts knew plenty about drugs, guns and poverty and little about the other kinds of wildlife in his hometown. A chance offer of a job cleaning up Washington, D.C.’s Anacostia River set him on the path to becoming a master falconer — despite racist resistance — and a mentor to others who share his inner-city roots. BookShelf’s Jennifer Weeks reviews Stotts’ memoir, “Bird Brother.”

How 'Rights of Nature' Is Recasting the Relationship Between Law and the Earth [42]

In 2006, a local government council in Pennsylvania concerned about sewage sludge dumping enacted the Western legal system’s first formal “rights of nature” instrument.

As legal expert Alice Bleby explains, this new perspective arises from a wide range of contexts and plays out in many different ways.
