Totalitarian “Nature Rights” Legislation in U.K. House of Lords

A Green member of the House of Lords plans to introduce "nature rights" legislation. Not only would — basically everything — have rights, but these supposed liberties could be enforced against "individuals." The authoritarian possibilities are unquantifiable.

First, "nature's" definition is so broad it includes just about everything in existence. From Draft 8 of the Nature Rights Act of 2025:

"Nature" means the interconnected community of living organisms, ecosystems, geological processes, and natural cycles, including all species, habitats, landscapes, waters, soils, the atmosphere, and the evolutionary and regenerative dynamics of life on Earth.

Anything in the world missing from that definition? Not that I can see. Thus, everything on earth — including the air — would be deemed a "legal person." And notice that "nature" is personalized with a capital N:

Recognition of Nature as a Legal Person:
a. Nature is recognised as a legal person and subject of law.
b. The rights of Nature established by this Act shall vest in Nature as a single legal entity.
c. These rights shall be enforceable collectively on behalf of Nature to prevent fragmentation of legal claims.
