"The presidential campaign for Snæfellsjökull introduces the concept of the Rights of Nature into societal consciousness and government policy consideration in Iceland. In the past fifteen years, legal precedents for the Rights of Nature were established by governments and communities around the world."
"These legal precedents underscore the rights of more-than-human bodies, coupled with a respect for ecosystems as having their own inherent value beyond what resources they offer humans. These policy adoptions also propose a necessary re-evaluation of natural resource management, calling especially into question the role of anthropocentrism in policy creation."
