The Cry of the Earth demands a profound examination of our relationship with the environment and a clear vision of how to capture it in law and governance. This collective endeavor encompasses diverse perspectives, including those from marginalized and critical voices, featuring contributions from renowned practitioners and thinkers in Indigenous law, traditional knowledge, wild law, the rights of nature, theology, public policy, and environmental humanities. These voices are instrumental in understanding and addressing the pressing global challenges we face. They urge us to expand our horizons of meaning and action, modes of knowing and being in the world, and envision a future with a renewed legal consciousness. This book serves as a valuable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners, and is part of a series of publications associated with the Earth System Governance Project.
