Upcoming Webinar: Rights of Nature

Indigenous communities have lived in harmony with the environment for millennia. Now they have led the creation of the Rights of Nature movement, which recognizes that ecosystems and wildlife have the legal right to exist, flourish, and evolve. Learn from an Indigenous leader, legal and policy expert, and a landscape architecture educator and designer on how to support and embrace this burgeoning global movement from within the field of landscape architecture.
