The Traveling Wilburys of the Colorado River

Thank you for the opportunity to submit comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement on Post-2026 Operational Guidelines and Strategies for Lake Powell and Lake Mead (DEIS).

Rights Of Nature: An Argument For Judicial Economy, Anna Belinski-Huber

Natural Resources Journal

Tracing the evolution of the “rights of nature” movement from Indigenous law and early environmental ethics to modern global applications, this article reframes the debate around codification of legal rights for nature from moral theory to legal efficiency, arguing that the United States implicitly recognizes rights of nature within its environmental jurisprudence and statutory framework. Through detailed analyses of the Endangered Species Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Clean Air Act, and Clean Water Act alongside corresponding case studies, the author demonstrates how courts and Congress have already expanded standing, redefined injury, and recognized nature’s inherent right to exist and flourish. …

Everything The Light Touches Is Not Your Kingdom: Understanding The Statutory Silence In The Antiquities Act To Restrict Presidential Power, Lillian A. Bourne

Natural Resources Journal

There is no greater threat to our public lands than energy dominance.

The Antiquities Act does not give the president the power to revoke or shrink national monuments designated by prior presidents; the Act reserves this power solely to …
