 During the last 3-5 years the intermediate social field between the "classical" human-rights movement and environment movements has rapidly developed into a new field - environmental human rights.
Basic environmental human rights are: right on a safe environment, right on information about the environment, right on compensation for damage resulting from violation of environmental regulations, right on participation in decision-making on environmental matters, and right on traditional life style for aboriginal people. The fight for environmental human rights enriches both the human-rights movement and the environment movements.
