About Us

The Academic Hub, established in 2020, serves as a nexus for leveraging educational and research pathways. Our mission is to promote knowledge sharing, foster critical inquiry, and facilitate novel research in the ever-evolving field of the Rights of Nature. We operate as an intellectually independent and multidisciplinary network, encompassing individual researchers, research institutions, and non-academic organizations whose work intersects with our scholarly endeavors.
