Mission and Vision
OUR MISSION
To have our Declaration of the Rights of the Mediterranean Bio-region legally binding on the regional and international level – akin to similar international laws like the Bern Convention
To establish a network of local RoN initiatives throughout the Mediterranean bioregion connected through joint work for the benefit of all living beings
To train up rights of Nature lawyers on ecocentric law to work on local, national and regional initiatives and to educate local communities on Rights of Nature and practical co-existence in harmony with other living beings.
Circumstances permitting – to establish 3 regional Hubs – Europe, Middle East and North Africa to work with communities in ways appropriate for their particular regional circumstances, capacities and culture.
OUR VISION
Mediterranean that has her inherent rights to exist, live, thrive, be healthy, regenerate and evolve naturally respected and recognised in law as a subject in her own right and in practice through everyday life and work.
Healthy Mediterranean, free of pollution, degradation, land and sea encroachments and grabbing and protected, inasmuch as it is possible, from the climate catastrophe consequences.
We envision environmental restorative justice processes taking place where serious harm to the Med has been committed and healing of the wounded and harmed Nature in her on her own rhythm and her own way
Communities living healthy holistic life in harmony with other non-human beings sharing the same home – Mediterranean bioregion
