Should the lakes have rights? | Great Lakes Now

When we think about who has rights under the law, we usually think of people or organizations. But what about nature? A growing movement argues that natural resources, like the Great Lakes, should have guaranteed rights. Indigenous communities have long recognized these rights, inspiring a shift in how we interact with our environment.
