My name is Femke Wijdekop. I am a lawyer, researcher and publicist, based in the Netherlands. In 2018 I became an Earth-centered Law expert at the
United Nations Harmony with Nature Network
. I am also an associate of
Restorative Justice Netherlands
, a member of the
Project for Integrating Spirituality, Law and Politics
, of the
Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies network
and the
International Society for Therapeutic Jurisprudence
.
My writings focus on ecocide, the rights of nature, restorative approaches to environmental harms and positive green criminology
.
My TED Talk gives a good summary of why I work on these themes, and what unites them.
