New Zealand has granged “person hood” to a mountain. And a river, and a forest

“Mount Taranaki, (now known as Taranaki Maungajoins) Te Urewera, a vast native forest on the North Island, and the Whanganui River in being recognised as people under New Zealand’s laws.”

Tjis was done for the New Zealand Aborigines who consider the mountain to be an ancestor.

I think it’s pretty cool, not sure ofthe real implications, but you can read the article here.

Happy Wednesday !
