One of the root drivers of environmental degradation is human ownership, extraction, and commodification of land. Our western system of law has codified the belief system that humans are superior to Land and can do what they want with it for their own benefit.

Sacred Contract directly addresses this root driver through its Land That Owns Itself Program. The program aims to change the belief of Land being a commodity and owned to one of Land being sovereign with Rights that are upheld in perpetuity. The program does this by enabling Land and ecosystems to own themselves, be represented by indigenous voices, and assert their own legal rights.
