Mari Margil and her team at the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund are committed to defending the rights of our environment under the law. Already they have assisted the first places in the world to secure Rights of Nature in law, including in Ecuador, where these rights are now written into the country’s constitution. Recently, the organization was instrumental in advocating for the rights of Lake Erie to be protected against agricultural pollution, which has also been polluting the water of Toledo, Ohio, residents. In February, Ohio voters passed the “Lake Erie Bill of Rights” law, a first-of-its-kind measure that could set a positive precedent for other Rights of Nature laws. Listen in to hear more about how our environment can - and should - have a lawyer.

Rights of Communities, Rights of Nature: a new conversation on law and ecology with Dr Peter Doran, QUB Law, and  Thomas Linzey and Mari Margil, Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, United States. Associate Director of CELDF Mari Margil and Executive Director of CELDF Thomas Linzey join Peter Doran in a wide-ranging discussion on an emerging new paradigm in environmental law, linking the rights of communities to the rights of nature. As the limits and systemic failures of environmental protection and governance become all too apparent  across the island of Ireland, this timely conversation examines the limits of conventional environmental law approaches, explores the role of communities in resisting the collusion of state and corporate authorities in the despoliation of our common environmental heritage, and the increasing acknowledgement of nature as a rights-bearing subject worthy of our deepest respect and cooperation.  The conversation also touches on new challenges for the legal profession and law schools in the context of systemic failures to equip communities and professionals with the means to resist ongoing ecosystem collapse. In an era where governmental institutions are unable to confront growing environmental crises, Linzey and Margil talk about a new people's movement emerging in the United States and beyond, to forge a new system of law that enables people to protect their communities and nature by rejecting certain harmful corporate projects. The Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF), a U.S.-based community organizing organization and law firm, is pioneering this movement toward “community rights” and the “rights of nature.” Across the U.S. and around the globe, CELDF is working with communities and national governments to recognize the rights of ecosystems in law, and to stop fracking, factory farms, and other threats. CELDF's senior legal counsel and co-founder Thomas Linzey, and associate director Mari Margil, will share stories from the frontlines: why U.S. municipal communities began to revolt against a system of law that elevates corporate “rights” and centralized governmental control over the rights of people and nature; how community rights and rights of nature laws were first enacted by U.S. communities; how Ecuador became the first country in the world to enshrine the rights of nature in its constitution; and how in countries from India to Colombia, from Nepal and Mexico, there is a growing movement to protect not only the human right to a healthy environment, but the rights of the environment itself.

[Original release: 10 April 2018] There is an unmistakable growing awareness of the ways in which our human lives and the environment are intertwined and interdependent. Unprecedented environmental degradation, resource depletion, and the looming reality of climate change have all drawn anxious attention to the human impact on the environment. Law is critically important here. Countries like Spain, France, Portugal, and Finland have already recognized a human right to a healthy environment. But some environmental advocates are arguing that this isn’t enough. We need to recognize the inherent rights of nature itself. In this episode, we discuss the limitations of human rights in confronting environmental harms and how we could realise the rights of nature.
