This quote from the article in The Guardian summed it up nicely for me:Im not sure I understand,they arnt making a river a person,but giving it personhood,as we do with a corporation
“We can trace our genealogy to the origins of the universe,” said Albert. “And therefore rather than us being masters of the natural world, we are part of it. We want to live like that as our starting point. And that is not an anti-development, or anti-economic use of the river but to begin with the view that it is a living being, and then consider its future from that central belief.”
