Nature's voice in RoN
On September 8th 2024 we held a webinar under the name of Nature’s Voice in RoN. Co-creating with the Natural World through Intuitive Interspecies Communication and the HEART Method. Our guests were Christine Noble Seller, Eleni Gkikakis and Wynter Worsthorne. Several dozen people attended taking part in an amazing journey and learning how to re-establish connections with Nature thanks to our guests.
Intuitive Interspecies Communication (ICC) is an innate ability shared by all living beings that facilitates communication and cooperation with Nature. This skill can be learned or re-learned, fostering a multisectoral approach where humans and Nature can collaborate and co-create. IIC is gaining recognition as a transformative method in various fields, including animal welfare, wildlife conservation, and biodiversity protection.
The HEART method builds on over 20 years of IIC experience. Developed by Wynter Worsthorne, it combines IIC with positive transformation tools for co-creation with Mother Nature’s guidance.

Conversation with Craig M. Kauffman and Pamela L. Martin

This discussion will begin with some questions created by the book club members then will open the floor to the live audience. The book itself takes a look at Rights of Nature from a political science background where they look at the history of RoN and how the laws have been implemented.

Who Speaks for nature Conference
As we fight to address an overwhelming array of environmental and social injustice, we constantly come up against the same challenge – power is in the wrong hands. Those most affected by harmful decisions have little to no ‘say’ in making them. Their voices are ignored, or they have no voice at all.
On Saturday, April 24th, 2021 the free, online conference about the Rights of Nature movement was held. Here we tried to answer the questions:
- what is the Rights of Nature?
how does Rights of Nature intersects with other environmental and social movements?
how does Rights of Nature create the fundamental change needed to restore balance with Nature and each other?

IUCN Global Youth Summit
Earth Law Center in partnership with the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature (GARN) Youth Hub led two sessions on Rights of Nature and future generations during the first IUCN Global Youth Summit held virtually between the 6-16 of april, 2021.
The first session provided an overview of the Rights of Nature movement and the different applications seen worldwide, including specific approaches from the USA, Colombia and India, and ending with an intersectionality section. During the first session, the audience was able to reflect through a miro board which was then used to guide the workshop during the second session.
The workshop included a reflection on international convention statutes and a dialogue on pledges that youth can make to uphold the Rights of Nature values in their own circles. We also reflected on our tasks to the IUCN in terms of considering the Rights of Nature in their decision-making procedures. These sessions resulted in the Rights of Nature Youth declaration.

Invisible Hand Movie Screening
On March 13th 2021, ten organizations around the globe presented a Youth International Screening of the award-winning Rights of Nature documentary, INVISIBLE HAND, from Executive Producer Mark Ruffalo and Directors Joshua Boaz Pribanic and Melissa Troutman.

Apocalypse, Center for Native American Youth, Whiteswan Environmental, Polluters Out, Great Plains Action Society, OtherWise Wageningen, Earth Law Center, and hosted by Public Herald Studios on behalf of The Pearl Remote Democractic High School. Part of proceeds are going to The Pearl scholarship where students benefit from being part of a dynamic international learning community while being supported by mentors, educators, and professionals.
