Welcome to the Rights of Nature-Ghana Movement (RoNAG)
At RoNAG, we are dedicated to defending the rights of nature in Ghana. Our mission is to advocate for the recognition of natural entities—such as rivers, mountains, parks, and wildlife—as living beings with inherent rights to exist, thrive, and regenerate. Through advocacy, research, and legal action, we strive to protect Ghana’s natural heritage from exploitation and injustice.
Why Rights of Nature?
Nature is not just a resource; it is a living entity that sustains us all. By recognizing the rights of nature, we can ensure a healthier, more sustainable future for both people and the planet. Our work is rooted in indigenous knowledge, cultural values, and local communities, ensuring that our efforts are both impactful and inclusive.

Our book: Rights of Nature

This book explores the meaning and foundations of the Rights of Nature within historical, cultural, ethical, ecological, and legal contexts. It connects international legal frameworks with scientific research and justice-centered perspectives. It shows how global principles can support local advocacy in Ghana. Grounded in both law and ecology, it bridges theory and practice. The book presents practical tools and strategies for implementation. Real case studies demonstrate how the Rights of Nature can be monitored and enforced. It serves as both a learning resource and a guide for transformative action.
