Bioneers Conference 2022

Panel - Rights of Nature: From Grassroots to Mainstream

Saturday, May 14, 2022

5:45 PM EST/2:45 PM PST

Bioneers presents their latest in-person and virtual conference, A Window Through, from May 13-15, 2022, in San Francisco. Registration is now open!

Join us on the conference main stage, on Saturday, May 14, for a panel titled Rights of Nature: From Grassroots to Mainstream. The panel will include CDER’s Thomas Linzey, Senior Legal Counsel, Frank Bibeau, Tribal Attorney of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe, and Samantha Skenandore, Tribal Attorney in Wisconsin. Alexis Bunten is moderating.

For over 15 years, the Rights of Nature movement has been dramatically altering the political framework and standpoint with which we see our world. The Earth may have once been a tool to be used, but society is moving towards a clearer understanding that our planet is its own entity with inherent rights to exist, persist, flourish, and evolve which can now be protected under the law. The Rights of Nature movement itself seeks to protect ecosystems and their life forms through the recognition of such rights. Join us to learn about the latest legal battles in the U.S. from this panel of environmental and tribal attorneys leading the way in the tribal courts and beyond.

All are welcome. For further information on pricing and registration, please visit here.
