""We have to shift how people relate to Antarctica... It's absolutely essential to protect it, not just for itself, but also for humanity.""
""Instead of being treated as a territory claimed by countries, he wants Antarctica to be legally protected as an astounding living community and a being in its own right.""
Cormac Cullinan, an environmental lawyer, argues for Antarctica's recognition as an autonomous legal entity. Awarded the Shackleton Medal, he emphasizes a shift in perspective to see Antarctica as a living community deserving legal protection. His advocacy aligns with a global movement for the rights of nature, drawn from his book, "Wild Law: A Manifesto for Earth Justice." He highlights the need to protect Antarctica not only for its own sake but for humanity's future, pushing back against current views of it as merely a resource territory.
