New Zealand has granted “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.”

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

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

Happy Wednesday !
