The Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature (GARN) is inviting volunteers to contribute to its groundbreaking work in promoting the legal recognition of the rights of ecosystems and organisms to exist, thrive, and restore their natural cycles. Based in Quito, Ecuador, GARN operates as a global network uniting organizations, communities, and individuals dedicated to advancing the Rights of Nature. Their mission focuses on fostering collaboration, advocating for transformative policies and laws, and providing resources to amplify this revolutionary approach to environmental protection.

GARN plays a key role in connecting diverse groups, including NGOs, indigenous communities, and legal practitioners, to strengthen the Rights of Nature movement. They organize educational events, host symposia, and produce materials to increase public understanding of this innovative legal framework. Volunteers at GARN also have the opportunity to support the creation of alliances, deliver training sessions for activists and lawyers, and contribute to the development of legal strategies that push for recognition of these rights in courts and legislation worldwide.

This volunteer opportunity provides an excellent platform for anyone interested in making a meaningful impact in environmental and social advocacy. Whether you are a legal professional, a community organizer, an academic, a student, or someone eager to engage with the Rights of Nature movement, contributing your time and skills to GARN offers a unique chance to be part of a global initiative driving positive change for the planet.

Internships are flexible, lasting between two and six months, and can be completed remotely from anywhere in the world. For those wishing to participate in person, it is important to note that volunteers are responsible for covering their living expenses for the duration of their stay in Ecuador.
