The Town Council goes a step further: it directly recognises trees as living beings deserving of protection, including the rights to life, natural growth, integrity and regeneration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This initiative was driven by a citizens\u2019 movement spearheaded by director Andr\u00e9 Desrochers. Following the screening of his documentary \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Des arbres et des arts<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d, the idea arose to recognise the rights of trees in the Quebec municipality. The film explores our relationship with trees through a journey through the forests of the Suro\u00eet region in Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie. Through a skilful blend of reflection, rights and art, the documentary invites us to reflect on the recognition of the rights of nature.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-faf4cff elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"faf4cff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A world  <span style=\"color:#3CBA39\"> first<\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e70ae9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2e70ae9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Terrasse-Vaudreuil is the first municipality in the world to pass a resolution of this kind. The driving force behind the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Trees initiative is Ricardo Rey, the author and driving force behind this petition, who was astonished to hear the news of this endorsement.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This initiative sets an important precedent, paving the way for numerous communities in Quebec, Canada and around the world to move towards a paradigm shift that involves moving beyond the view of trees as mere objects, and recognising them as living beings with inherent rights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For our president, Yenny Vega C\u00e1rdenas, \u201cthis resolution highlights the strength of local government and its ability to act in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, which is one of the pillars of sustainable development.
