Russian river gains legal status as a ‘person’

A court in Russia has granted the river known as the Wolf its own legal personality, following similar moves for natural features in New Zealand, India and Colombia.

The decision, which was argued on the grounds that the river contributes to the region’s ecological and cultural heritage, paves the way for it to be protected against pollution and other sources of harm.

The move was largely symbolic, as the Wolf, which runs through a national park in the Altai Mountains, was already subject to legal protection. However, it reflects a growing recognition of the rights of nature and a shift away from the traditional view of natural features as property or commodities.

“The recognition of nature as a living entity is a significant step in the recognition of all life,” said Mikhail Trepashkin, a lawyer involved in the case.
