Quebec municipality grants trees fundamental rights
A town in Quebec has officially acknowledged that trees possess basic rights, such as the right to exist, grow, remain intact, and regenerate. The Terrasse-Vaudreuil council voted unanimously to incorporate guidelines from the Universal Declaration of Tree Rights. While this decision stops short of giving trees legal personhood, it establishes a formal ethical structure to safeguard them while encouraging efforts to boost biodiversity and plant more trees.
