The International Rights of Nature Tribunal held its 12th local hearing at the Haw River State Park in North Carolina this month. Led by our partners 7 Directions of Service with Movement Rights and the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature, it was the first Indigenous-led tribunal of its kind in global history. The Yesah Tribunal: Mountain Valley Pipeline and the Rights of Rivers had More than100 people attended in person, and dozens more tuned into the day-long proceedings via livestream. The Tribunal took place shortly after MVP experienced serious pipe failures during hydrostatic testing, all while developers are demanded FERC grant the project an in-service request.
They received their grant at the dismay of environmental groups and frontline communities. David Sligh, Conservation Director, joins the podcast to talk about his experience as an expert at the Tribunal, an update on what's next for the fight against the MVP, and context for Rights of Nature / Rights of Rivers as a legal instrument.
