Paris Moves to Grant Personhood to River Seine for Protection
Paris is taking a groundbreaking step to protect the River Seine by proposing to grant it legal personhood status. This move aims to recognize the river as a living entity with rights, allowing for stronger environmental safeguards and legal recourse against pollution or ecological harm. Inspired by global precedents, the initiative reflects growing efforts to combat climate change and preserve natural ecosystems through innovative legal frameworks that give nature a voice in its own protection.
