Zoöp Nieuwe Instituut
Founding a Zoöp
On 24 September 2021, we launched the Zoöp Manifesto and the Zoöp legal documentation, that together form the framework for the establisment of Zoöps. The documents were offered to representatives of several Dutch and Italian proto-zoöps.
Zoöp?
Zoöp is the name of a new organisational model for cooperation between human and non-human life that safeguards the interests of all zoë (the Greek word for 'life').
The Zoöp model makes the interests of non-human life part of organisational decision-making.
Zoöps contribute to the legal standing of non-human life within human societies and contribute to ecological regeneration or quality of life for their entire multispecies communities.
By applying the zoönomic year cycle, Zoöps gradually transform their operations towards supporting the larger zoönomy, the Earth-encompassing, life-generating systems and networks of exchange between organic and geo-physical bodies.
