A New Zealand mountain has been granted personhood. Here’s why that matters | CNN Mount Taranaki — now known as Taranaki Maunga, its Māori name — is the latest natural feature to be granted personhood in New Zealand.

Taranaki Maunga is the latest natural feature to be granted personhood in New Zealand, which has ruled that a river and a stretch of sacred land are people before. The mountain, considered an ancestor by the Māori, now has all the rights and responsibilities of a human being.
