Expand Horizons with Rights of Nature Legal Training

CDER is providing national continuing legal education (CLE) training on the rights of nature through Lawline and the National Academy of Continuing Legal Education. CDER is pleased to provide not only an opportunity for lawyers to meet their CLE requirements but also a non-credited option for the general public. We invite you to learn more about Rights of Nature: Theory, Law, and Emerging Jurisprudence.

"This book-precious force of witness as it is-allows many human voices involved in the process to speak, on behalf of themselves, others, and nonhumans not normally heard ."

— Anna Grear

Together, we can make a difference.

Our founders have worked with the first places in the world to establish legal rights of nature. Today, we are working with grassroots, tribal, and NGO partners and governments across the globe to develop, implement, and enforce Rights of Nature laws.

 

We provide direct support for organizations & governments around the world.

We are a 360 organization — we address all aspects of moving campaigns for change forward: strategic advice, drafting legislation and legal research, training and workshops, and on-the-ground support.
