Universal Declaration of Mother Earth Rights is a proposed universal declaration with many similarities to the Universal Declaration of Human rights.

Background
Just as the World War caused a serious humanity crisis that in 1948 led to the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human rights, today we are suffering the consequences of Climate Change making it essential to have a Universal Declaration of Mother Earth Rights.

In the 21st Century it is impossible to achieve full human rights protection if we do not recognize and defend the rights of the planet earth. The planet earth can exist without human life, but humans cannot exist without planet earth.

Deceleration
The Universal Declaration of Mother Earth Rights must recognize among others:

6.1. The right to life, that means the right to exist. Every ecosystem, animal or vegetable species, river or lake, has a right to exist without being threatened by human activity whose rights end there where they threaten to damage the survival of Mother Earth and to break the balance and life with nature.

6.2. The right to the regeneration of its bio-capacity and its vital cycles.

6.3. The right to a healthy environment, which means the right of Mother Earth, the rivers, fish, animals, and trees have the right to live, like humans, in an environment free of contamination, poisoning and intoxication.

6.4. The right to harmony and balance between everyone and everything. It is the right to be recognized as part of a system in which we are all independent. It is the right to live in balance with human beings. There are millions of species, but only human beings have the awareness and ability to control our own actions to promote harmony with nature.
