Man files first-ever lawsuit on behalf of nature Jordan Bowen reports on the first-ever lawsuit filed on behalf of nature. ORLANDO, Fla. - Mother nature is taking a developer to court under a new Florida law that gives citizens the right act on behalf of nature and file enforcement actions to protect waterways. The suit is the first-ever of it's kind in the U.S. to be filed under what's called a "Rights of Nature" law. The law essentially gives citizens the right to act on behalf of nature in order to protect wetlands at risk of being destroyed. "A corporation that represents commerce or industry have all the rights of a human and yet nature has no rights," plaintiff Chuck O'Neal said.
The listed plaintiffs are Wilde Cypress Branch, Boggy Branch, Crosby Island Marsh, Lake Hart and Lake Mary Jane. Laws protecting the rights of nature are growing throughout the world, from Ecuador to Uganda, and have been upheld in courts in India, Colombia and Bangladesh. But this is the first time anyone has tried to enforce them in the US. The Orange county law secures the rights of its waterways to exist, to flow, to be protected against pollution and to maintain a healthy ecosystem. It also recognizes the authority of citizens to file enforcement actions on their behalf. The suit, filed in the ninth judicial circuit court of Florida, claims a proposed 1,900-acre housing development by Beachline South Residential LLC would destroy more than 63 acres of wetlands and 33 acres of streams by filling and polluting them, as well as 18 acres of wetlands where stormwater detention ponds are being built.
