环保运动和人权运动彼此互促。环保主义者通过人权运动,使人们认识到人类应享有安全的环境权,把人类看做自然的一部分,并认为自然也有自己的权利诉求,从而促进了人权的复兴(greening)。人权运动也使得环保主义者们意识到,他们必须要有政治参与、免受暴力的自由、适用正当的法律程序、受教育以及获得充足的营养的权利,从而促进环境保护的发展。 Environmental campaigns and human rights campaigns are mutually reinforcing. Through the human rights movement, environmentalists have made people realize that human beings should enjoy the right to a safe environment, regard human beings as part of nature, and think that nature also has their own rights appeal, thus promoting the greening of human rights. The human rights movement has also made environmentalists aware that they must promote environmental protection through political participation, freedom from violence, due process of law, education and the right to adequate nutrition.
