A new report has said that non-humans, such as animals, rivers and trees, should have
legal rights
just like humans do。 The report comes from the Law Society, an organisation that
represents
lawyers in England and Wales。
一份新的報告稱,非人類,如動物、河流和樹木,應該像人類一樣享有法律權利。該報告來自法律協會,該協會代表英格蘭和威爾士律師的組織。
The report says that giving legal rights to non-humans could help to
protect
them。 This is because if nature is protected in the same way humans are, those who
damage
it will get in trouble with the law-just like those who harm other people。 The lawyers think it could be a way to
tackle climate change
and the loss of
biodiversity
。
報告說,給予非人類的合法權利有助於保護它們。這是因為,如果自然受到保護的方式與人類一樣,那些破壞自然的人就會像那些傷害他人的人一樣,觸犯法律。律師們認為這可能是應對氣候變化和生物多樣性喪失的一種方式。
Laws that protect non-humans already
exist
in other countries, including Bolivia and Ecuador。 However, both these countries have large
populations
of
indigenous people
and protecting nature has always been an important part of their culture。 There are some laws that protect nature in the UK, but the report
points out
that they only protect the sort of non-humans that we find interesting, such as trees and pets。
其他國家,包括玻利維亞和厄瓜多,已經有保護非人類的法律。然而,這兩個國家都有大量的土著人民,保護自然一直是其文化的重要組成部分。英國有一些保護自然的法律,但報告指出,它們只保護我們感興趣的非人類物種,如樹木和寵物。
The report discusses using laws to give the whole natural system rights,
instead of
just parts of it。 This would stop humans from being able to damage it-for example, by
cutting down
trees to
make room
for buildings。 It would also be a way of
making sure
that people don‘t have too much power to change the environment using science or technology。 Most importantly, it would
recognize
that parts of nature
depend on
other parts。 For example, if a tree dies it can
affect
lots of
creatures
who use it for food or
shelter
。
該報告討論了利用法律賦予整個自然
系統應有的權利
,而不僅僅是其中的一部分。這將阻止人類透過砍伐樹木為建築騰出空間來破壞它。這也將是一種確保人們沒有太多權力使用科學或技術改變環境的方式。最重要的是,它將認識到自然界的某些部分依賴於其他部分。例如,如果一棵樹死了,它會影響到許多用它作為食物或避難所的生物。
