Abstract

Biological life has been in a state of perpetual crisis since its emergence; the crisis is a historical phenomenon related to human activity. However, the concept of the rights of Nature is central to the cultures of many Indigenous peoples. The concept of Nature and its relationship to culture and history constitutes a vital nexus for appreciating the rights of Nature and its ecosystems. This article addresses various issues related to reassessing the inherent rights of Nature (IRoN). It addresses individual issues involved in the IRoN trajectory to do justice to Nature. The primary argument is the “inherent rights of IRoN-driven principle of global governance.” It is an unorthodox attempt to cover the diversity of global issues having a cascading impact on the IRoN, along with population growth, climate change, War, and natural resource exploitation, as well as legal matters, including constitutional personality, human rights, and global governance leadership and new legal structures fostering fundamental rights of Nature.
