The rights of Nature, a concept recognised by several courts, legislatures and international governance institutions, is being promoted by some non-governmental organisations, scientists, attorneys, Indigenous peoples, local communities, and others. In this article we propose a Universal Declaration of the Rights of Wetlands, consistent with the 1982 World Charter for Nature. Recognition of these rights supports the provision of ecosystem services essential to human well-being and to other life on Earth. Further, such rights could reinforce efforts to reduce wetland loss and deterioration, thereby slowing climate destabilisation and biodiversity declines. Because world scientists have warned that biodiversity loss, ecosystem degradation and climate destabilisation, which intensify wetland loss, constitute global emergencies, new approaches are required to ensure that wetlands are protected and their benefits to people sustained. The proposed Universal Declaration of the Rights of Wetlands states that wetlands possess rights to: exist; their ecologically determined location in the landscape; natural, connected and sustainable hydrological regimes; ecologically sustainable climatic conditions; naturally occurring biodiversity; regeneration and restoration; integrity of structure, function and evolutionary processes; fulfil natural ecological roles in the Earth’s processes; and be free from pollution and degradation. Recognition of these rights is seen as an essential step in efforts to stop wetland loss and deterioration.

走向世界湿地权利宣言

一些非政府组织、科学家、律师、原住民、当地社区和其他人正在推广自然权利这一概念,这一概念得到了多个法院、立法机构和国际治理机构的认可。在本文中,我们提出了与 1982 年《世界自然宪章》一致的《世界湿地权利宣言》。承认这些权利有助于提供对人类福祉和地球上其他生命至关重要的生态系统服务。此外,这些权利可以加强减少湿地损失和退化的努力,从而减缓气候不稳定和生物多样性下降。因为世界科学家警告说,生物多样性丧失、生态系统退化和气候不稳定会加剧湿地丧失,构成全球紧急情况,需要采取新的方法来确保湿地得到保护,并确保湿地对人们的利益得以持续。拟议的《世界湿地权利宣言》指出,湿地拥有以下权利:它们在景观中的生态决定位置;自然、相互关联和可持续的水文制度;生态可持续的气候条件;自然发生的生物多样性;再生和恢复;结构、功能和进化过程的完整性;在地球进程中发挥自然生态作用;并且不受污染和退化。承认这些权利被视为阻止湿地丧失和退化的重要步骤。拟议的《世界湿地权利宣言》指出,湿地拥有以下权利:它们在景观中的生态决定位置;自然的、相互联系的和可持续的水文制度;生态可持续的气候条件;自然发生的生物多样性;再生和恢复;结构、功能和进化过程的完整性;在地球进程中发挥自然生态作用;并且不受污染和退化。承认这些权利被视为阻止湿地丧失和退化的重要步骤。拟议的《世界湿地权利宣言》指出,湿地拥有以下权利:它们在景观中的生态决定位置;自然的、相互联系的和可持续的水文制度;生态可持续的气候条件;自然发生的生物多样性;再生和恢复;结构、功能和进化过程的完整性;在地球进程中发挥自然生态作用;并且不受污染和退化。承认这些权利被视为阻止湿地丧失和退化的重要步骤。再生和恢复;结构、功能和进化过程的完整性;在地球进程中发挥自然生态作用;不受污染和退化。承认这些权利被视为阻止湿地丧失和退化的重要步骤。再生和恢复;结构、功能和进化过程的完整性;在地球进程中发挥自然生态作用;并且不受污染和退化。承认这些权利被视为阻止湿地丧失和退化的重要步骤。
