There have been a lot of programs around the world that protect ecosystems including forest ecosystems, but now the city council of Terrasse-Vaudreuil in the Canadian province of Quebec has granted rights to individual trees – in fact all of the trees in their municipality.
Mayor Michel Bourdeau explains,"A tree is like a human being, It breathes, it lives, it takes in water. It protects us from all sorts of things."
This is consistent with Universal Declaration of the Rights of the Tree, which is an international initiative spearheaded by environmental groups.
Its three main core articles state that trees are living beings and a common human good, that life on Earth depends on their existence, and that humans must act in "fraternity and solidarity" with them.
