Advocacy
Our advocacy efforts include proposing legislation recognizing the Rights of Nature, such as Panamanian Law 287, which grants legal rights to sea turtles and their habitat.
Behind Our Advocacy Initiatives
The most important aspect of conservation science is taking results from the field to the table in international policy settings. Decision-makers and management institutions rely on scientists to be an objective voice for nature, and it's our job as scientists and researchers to make sure that our efforts are presented and integrated to formulate the most effective management strategies.

It's Time #ForNature!
We proposed Panamanian Law 287, which "Recognizes the Rights of Nature and the State Obligations to Uphold These Rights."
​
Rights for Nature is an international campaign dedicated to the legal recognition of the rights for nature. We work with local environmentalists, lawyers, biologists and legislators to propose and draft new legislation recognizing these rights.
​
Nature has intrinsic value and deserves to be respected through the seeking of a harmonious balance with humanity and an abandonment of the perspective that nature is simply a resource to be harvested.
​
This critical campaign aims to change the direct way in which society interacts with and considers nature.
