Maryland Public Television, College Park Scholars, The University of Maryland Arboretum and Botanical Garden, and The Indigenous Futures Lab invite you to participate in a discussion of how the rights of natural systems can be taken into account as we manage land. Ecuador was the first modern nation to recognize these rights in their constitution in 2008. We will explore the impacts of that decision and explore ways to incorporate Indigenous practices into the management of the University of Maryland. Our panel will be moderated by Tim Knight, Director of the Environment, Technology, and Economy Scholars program and will consist of Meg Smolinski, University of Maryland Arboretum & Botanical Gardens, Shelbi Nahwilet Meissner, Indigenous Futures Lab, Carla Cardenas and Constanza Prieto Figelist, both with the Earth Law Center.
