Protecting Mother Earth: Sacred Guardianship & Ecocide Law
How can the profound traditions and practices of sacred guardianship be respected/included in the existing dominant legal system? Ecocide law reflects a factual reality (both physical and spiritual) - that if we damage the Earth, there are consequences.
