Legislation for the Rights of Natural Objects

This question is outside the topic of the present page, properly speaking, but it may anyway be of interest by way of comparison. Initiatives of this kind must presumably mean that the objects in question are assigned 'rights' without being assigned any corresponding 'responsibilities'. This leads to the question whether these rights may be conditional on whether the 'behavior' of the objects remain within certain bounds.
