"Article 1-We, the Members of the Human Family, commit to Protecting and Restoring the Sacred. We will remind ourselves and our Human Family, through our sacred prayers, songs, ceremony and our ancient prophecies, that Mother Earth is our sacred provider of life, not a limitless dump for our waste here only to satisfy our appetite for the material dimension of life.
Restoring the Sacred includes preserving and protecting sacred sites worldwide and returning heirloom sacred objects taken from their rightful owners. We will return these sacred sites and objects to their original cultural and spiritual purposes."
International Treaty to Protect and Restore Mother Earth, November 7, 2016, COP22, Marrakesh, Morocco.
