View answerI welcome the discussion on enshrining the rights of nature in the constitution. I am supportive in principle of protecting nature and the rights of nature as part of our constitution. Further detail and assessment would be required on the exact wording of how these rights would be protected before any definite answer could be given to the Deputy.
