What can the arts and natural humanities contribute to stopping the extinction of species? Does nature need rights? Can or must the protection of biodiversity be legally enforced? How would concepts of planetary coexistence change if rights of nature were introduced? What influence have (post-)colonial structures had and continue to have on biodiversity in countries and entire regions? What role can the arts play in the fight against species extinction?
