N2  - Rivers, landscapes, whole territories: these are the latest entities environmental activists have fought hard to include in the relentless expansion of rights in our world. But what does it mean for a landscape to have rights? Why would anyone want to create such rights, and to what end? Is it a good idea, and does it come with risks?

Mihnea Tanasescu offers clear answers to the thorny questions that the intrusion of nature into law is sure to raise
