On Wednesday, 14 May 2025, the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU) will host another film and discussion evening as part of its ‘BOKU Cinema: Film Series with Discussion’ programme, focusing on shortcomings in the pursuit of a sustainable world. The film ‘Invisible Hand’ will be shown – a documentary about the concept and creation of the rights of nature. Camilla Haake, PostDoc at the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Fundamental and Human Rights (LBI-GMR), will then engage in a discussion on this topic together with experts and address the following questions: Who will speak for nature? How can nature be protected? What rights can benefit nature (conservation) and how does nature as a legal entity influence our relationship with it? What can we (in the Western world) learn from indigenous peoples when it comes to nature conservation?
