• A huge part of protecting our rivers - and the wider biodiversity - is changing the way we talk about them. We need to see them as having a right to exist in their own right, not merely as a resource of our human-centric world. Many campaigners believe this legal shift is necessary to address the high levels of pollution in our waterways, moving from treating rivers as property to respecting them as living ecosystems

  
  

  So we are really, really thrilled that the fantastic barrister Monica Feria-Tinta came to Cardigan! She talked about her work on cases across the world, as well as her recent work supporting the groups on the Wye and the Ouse, as well as taking part in a Q&A session afterwards.

  
  

  She is the author of the book "A Barrister for the Earth" which is now out in paperback - Browns Books of Newport sold them on the night. The good news is that the book is to be made into a legal drama series for tv - a legal drama with an environmental edge!

  
  

  An inspiring evening and give us all food for thought on our campaigning for the Teifi. See below for video clips
