San Francisco Attorney Advocates for Forests’ Legal Rights
In a bold move to protect the environment, San Francisco attorney Missy Lahren is championing the legal rights of forests. With over three decades of experience in environmental law, Lahren has been at the forefront of the fight for nature’s legal recognition. At the heart of her mission is the concept of “Rights of Nature,” a legal tool that gives natural entities like forests a voice in the courtroom. This approach treats forests as individuals with the right to be represented in legal matters. Lahren’s efforts have seen success internationally, and she’s now focusing on local challenges.
