How recognizing the Amazon rainforest as non-human helps counter human-driven ‘sustainable development’ interventions

ISS PhD

Research output: Non-textual form › Web publication/site › Academic

Abstract

Projects introduced in the Amazon rainforest to ‘protect’ it from harm hardly ever follow this objective; instead, they represent human interests while negating the interests of non-humans. But the rainforest as non-human also deserves the right to be represented. Luciana dos Santos Duarte in this article draws on developments in three academic fields to show how non-humans can become recognized in such projects.
