In this episode, Kelly, Elizabeth, and Cole explores the concept of Rights of Nature and how it has been implemented in Ecuador by following the landmark case of Los Cedros Protected Forest. It will then look at examples from Bolivia and the U.S. to consider if Rights of Nature can be a solution to the conflict and connection between conservation and development.
