New Zealand grants Mount Taranaki legal personhood, recognizing it as a living entity with rights.
New Zealand has granted legal personhood to Mount Taranaki, a sacred mountain for the Māori people, recognizing it as a living entity with rights and responsibilities akin to a human.
The move, part of a treaty settlement, renames the mountain to its traditional Māori name and establishes a legal body to represent the mountain's interests, focusing on its health and conservation.
Public access remains unchanged.
This makes Taranaki the third natural feature in New Zealand to gain such recognition, following Te Urewera and the Whanganui River.
