About This Collection

Founder Kenny Ausubel coined the term Bioneers in 1990 to describe an emerging culture. Bioneers are social and scientific innovators from all walks of life and disciplines who have peered deep into the heart of living systems to understand how nature operates, and to mimic "nature's operating instructions" to serve human ends without harming the web of life.

The Bioneers Conference is a leading-edge forum presenting breakthrough solutions for people and planet. Check out Bioneers on YouTube.

The Rights of Nature Movement in Indian Country and Beyond: From Grassroots to Mainstream | Bioneers

The "Rights of Nature" movement aims to protect rivers, mountains, and entire ecosystems by recognizing their inherent legal rights to exist, persist, flourish, and evolve, rather than treating them as property. This radical framework has gained global momentum, spreading from tribal lands to cities and nations.

In this session, activist attorneys Frank Bibeau, Thomas Linzey, and Samantha Skenandore, moderated by Alexis Bunten, will update us on their successes and challenges in Indian Country and beyond.
