This is an appeal to the developers and architects of the new Justice Palace. This letter challenges and argues for the more complex understanding of site development and importnace of soil ecology for healty and inclusive living and working environments. The location of Krater (Lubljana, Slovenia) is a vulnerable site of local ecological importance, which future is being jeopardized, by the human-centered approach towards new developments. We pledge for the justice of soil life, which has just gained its rights as part of the new Human Right to a Healthy Environment UN directive. To ensure future human well-being, we need to improve the health of the world's limited soil resources. We need to limit where we build and how. New developments should minimize the environmental impact. Similarly as everything in nature is connected, we should build and design seeing sites such as Krater as interconnected to life on Earth entities. The Palace of Justice should become a life supporting development, that respects existing soil life, which directly influences the future of the Earth and a well-being of Human race.
