I diritti della Natura e la visione biocentrica tra l’Ecuador e la Bolivia

Rights of Nature and the biocentric perspective between Ecuador and Bolivia

Abstract

The article examines as the matter of the environmental law is changing not only in some Constitution – as, for example, Ecuador – but in the jurisprudence vision too. Starting from a purely anthropocentric vision – i.e. protecting nature for the good of presently living humans – to acknowledge an intrinsic value of nature, judges begin to recognize all members of the community as subjects before the law, with the right to the protection of the law and to an effective remedy for human acts that violate their fundamental rights.

Keywords: Right of Nature; Biocentric vision.
