The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 114 recognizes the inherent rights of nature and reaffirms Wisconsin's commitment to environmental stewardship. It highlights the state's diverse ecosystems and its historical leadership in conservation, drawing on the legacy of notable conservationists and the ecological knowledge of Indigenous communities. The resolution emphasizes the need for a rights-based approach to nature, which acknowledges the intrinsic value of ecosystems and species, and aims to address pressing environmental challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss.

The resolution calls for the Wisconsin State Legislature to uphold the rights of nature, develop policies that protect these rights, and engage with Indigenous communities and experts in creating a legal framework that integrates traditional ecological knowledge with modern science. It encourages local governments to adopt rights-of-nature laws and principles in their environmental planning and commits to not enacting laws that would hinder such local initiatives. The resolution aims to ensure the protection of Wisconsin's natural resources for future generations and will be shared with the governor, state agencies, Tribal Nations, and environmental organizations.
