July 23, 2021: CDER’s Senior Legal Counsel Thomas Linzey spoke with KCRW, a Los Angeles-based radio syndicate. He was the featured guest on the Good Food Podcast hosted by Evan Kleiman. This 15-minute interview provides an enlightening view on the Center for Democratic and Environmental Rights and the mission of the rights of nature movement.

“The law has to go through a transformation,” Linzey says. “That evolution has to be shifting from nature as a thing, to nature as an animated entity capable of holding rights” (KCRW, 2021). To listen to this interview, please visit here.
