Documentary abstract — original language
This article examines the relationship and conflicts between the Rights of Nature (RoN) framework and the Indigenous right to territory. While RoN has gained recognition across several jurisdictions as a response to the global ecological crisis, it often stems from Western moral-philosophical perspectives supported by conservationist and scientific debates. By contrast, the right to territory of Indigenous peoples represent a struggle for the recognition of ontological and relational plurality arising with the Indigenous peoples-environment nexus. Through analysis of diverse ecocentric frameworks and their legal applications, the article assesses the extent to which the recognition of rights to nature does not always align with Indigenous claims about territory. Additionally, it cautions against the risks of imposing Western ecocentric categories onto Indigenous struggles, which may replicate colonial logics underlying dominant ecocentric approaches. The article concludes by proposing an interpretation of RoN that embraces epistemic plurality and the ontological-relational representation of nature of Indigenous peoples to create spaces for equitable dialogue and strategic alliances between the right to territory of Indigenous peoples and RoN in the fight against anthropocentrism in courts.
