NYU's More-Than-Human Rights (MOTH) Program, founded by César Rodríguez-Garavito, works to challenge legal and philosophical frameworks that place humans above and apart from the rest of the natural world.
The MOTH (More-Than-Human Rights) Program at NYU School of Law, whose founding director is César Rodríguez-Garavito, is cited as an innovative collaborative endeavor that seeks to redefine existing relationships by contesting the legal and philosophical paradigms that privilege human beings above and separate from the entirety of the natural world.
