Human Rights for the Planet

From coal mining in Colombia to the Ecuadorian cloud forest - one woman's fight for climate justice.

Monica Feria-Tinta, a UK based barrister, uses the principles of Human Rights law and Earth's Jurisprudence (the rights of mother earth) to halt the tide on pollution and protect the rights of indigenous peoples in Colombia, Mexico and the Torres Strait. She is even campaigning to protect the pristine primary forest in Ecuador, the cloud forest home of the last living species of Andean spectacle bears (aka the Paddington Bear!). Monica is a leading Human Rights lawyer now working in environmental protection with a string of successful cases to her name and she has been shortlisted by the Lawyer Magazine for this year's prestigious Barrister of the Year award - join us and you'll find out why.
