On 7 April 2017 The Christian Science Monitor reported: Just weeks after a high court in the Indian state of Uttarakhand granted legal personhood to the Ganges and Yamuna rivers, the same court recently extended that same standing to the Gangotri and Yamunotri glaciers that feed them. The finding follows New Zealand's mid-March passage of a law recognizing the Whanganui River -- a feature that the Maori people consider an ancestor -- as a living entity.

Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the fields of culture and science, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.
