We recognise that a corporation goes to court as a person. Nature can't, not yet. The approach of seeing nature as a subject could lead to a change in thinking that benefits not only future generations. Worldwide, activists are pursuing this approach with the aim of promoting a more balanced relationship between humans and nature and a more sustainable ecosystem management. The discussion will present initiatives and research perspectives.
