The idea that nature has rights what does it stir in me?
Ambiguous about the range of the term, 'nature'. If I am heard 'Animals have a right', it is familiar for me.

We live in the Holocene and move to the Anthropocene.
Rivers are changing because of people. Lake Erie in Ohio and Ganja in India are severely polluted. What if water is essential for human polluted, what it will happen to human? If we want to talk about the water, we should also talk about the lake and river. We need to think that rivers and lakes have a right.
"We've been using the same laws for decades to try and protect Lake Erie. They're clearly not working. Beginning today, with this historic vote, the people of Toledo and our allies are ushering in a new era of environmental rights by securing the rights of the Great Lake Erie."

- Aldo Leopold, 1949
In our culture and society, nature is an object. Why we think like that?
It's because of an assumption.
From a long time ago, Western society believed that human can dominate nature. Moreover, the human had thought men only have a soul. Women may have a soul but women are closer to nature. However, science changed our whole premises. Now the anthropocentric assumption should be changed.

Killing a slave was not a crime a long time ago, because he didn't have a right. However, we think the slave system is horrible. However, I think we still have nature as a slave.
What right nature has?
First, to survive in the original area.
Hence nature can be changed from object to a subject having rights.
What becomes possible when Rights of Nature are acknowledged?
What I believe is that the art is important for democracy. The literature gave rights to children, and disability people
