How Nature Reclaims Its Rights

In a world battered by ecological and climatic crises, nature is no longer just a victim : it is reclaiming space and gaining new rights. This short book explores that revolution through recent facts and landmark studies. Cities are redesigning their infrastructure with urban forests and rain gardens that absorb floodwater. Lost species such as the Atlantic sturgeon, beaver and pine marten are returning thanks to rigorous rewilding programmes. Thousands of kilometres of rivers have been reopened, mangroves are being restored and forests are regenerating naturally. At the same time, courts are recognising the rights of rivers and mountains, and Indigenous peoples are leading restoration initiatives. The author shows that these projects deliver economic, social and cultural benefits and open the way to renewed coexistence with the living world.

This book is aimed at anyone seeking concrete solutions to the ecological crisis. It offers a clear analysis grounded in verifiable data and inspiring examples to replicate. By the final page, readers will understand that restoring nature is not a luxury but a necessity and that it offers opportunities for our societies.
