The Rights of Nature: A Legal Revolution That Could Save the World by David R. Boyd

4.0

This was a really interesting read and a fairly optimistic one, as far as books on the state of the environment go. Boyd walks you through many different examples of cases exploring the rights of individual animals, whole species, landforms like rivers, and entire ecosystems. It's fairly easy reading even for those who don't know a lot about our legal system (such as myself), although I did find it dragged by the time I got to the last third or so. Highly recommended to introduce this amazing concept of nature having its own inherent rights and how we can add this to our arsenal of arguments and protections!
