No Man’s Land
A Proposal for a permanent park for the Non-Humans.
2018 - present
No Man’s Land will be an area of land where humans are prohibited from entering. It is a space where the plants, animals, insects and fungi will have full and sole autonomy. Where they are free from the presence of human beings. The park will not be used for research or organized observation. It is not a place for humans to study or “enjoy” nature. No tagging, recording, research or human technology of any kind is permitted in No Man’s Land.
While it is recognized that Humans are a part of the earth’s ecology, NML is proposed to be a legally protected place where the Non-Humans are guaranteed to be free of the presence of Humans and their actions.
Legal Goals :
No Man’s Land is both a physical and a legal space. The legal goal of the project is to establish the living ecology that is within NML as a recognized Legal Entity. Identifying it as a place that can never be interfered with by human acts of possession. This will be done through Trusts , Deeds, local ordinance or another legal device that is to be determined.
