Ecological Revolution for the Living

The Ecological Revolution for the Living (REV; French: Révolution écologique pour le vivant) is a minor political party in France, founded in 2018 by Aymeric Caron, who was elected in 2022 as its sole Member of Parliament.

The party was formed on 8 February 2018 following dissatisfaction with Europe Ecology – The Greens. Aymeric Caron expressed the view that The Greens lost its legitimacy to take care of the ecological crisis by embracing capitalistic values of the market instead of focusing on what is actually important.

Formerly named Ecological Union for the Living, the party adopted its actual name in 2020.

In the 2022 French legislative election, Aymeric Caron of the Ecological Revolution for the Living was elected to the National Assembly in the 18th constituency of Paris with the support of the New Ecological and Social People's Union alliance. Upon taking office, Caron, who became the party's sole Member of Parliament, chose to sit with the La France Insoumise group rather than as an independent.

A self-described anti-speciesist and deep ecologist political party, REV emphasizes the rejection of the commodity status of animals.

REV is an explicitly vegan political party claiming to refuse "the exploitation and the slaughter of non-human animals to satisfy morbid and unnecessary food cravings."

REV sets out four fundamental rights for non-human animals:

To achieve these rights, REV proposes the gradual closure of all meat farms, a ban on hunting and fishing, the closure of non-rehabilitative zoos and aquariums, prohibition of fur production and sale, and closure of pet stores in favor of non-kill animal shelters.
