Anbound advises anthropocentrism in human rights must be changed
ANBOUND
Anbound's chief researcher Chan Kung believes that in the past, human rights, including the right to subsistence and development were emphasized, while ecological rights were neglected; this has created a one-sided and widespread misunderstanding, creating the devastating anthropocentricism. This mode of thinking has long caused profound misunderstandings and has shaped today’s paradoxical ecological predicament; this must be changed. The prerequisite for change is decentralization, equalizing human rights and the rights to subsistence, the rights to development and the ecological rights.
