Documentary abstract — original language

DOI: https://doi.org/10.46296/yc.v9i17.0683 Abstract The research addresses the recognition of the rights of nature in Ecuador, integrated into the 2008 Constitution under the principles of Sumak Kawsay or "Good Living." This biocentric model represents a paradigmatic shift in environmental law, although it faces challenges such as economic resistance and the lack of clear mechanisms. The main issue lies in how to ensure the effective implementation of these rights within an anthropocentric legal framework. The general objective was to analyze Sumak Kawsay as the foundation of the rights of nature in Ecuador. A qualitative approach was adopted with a particular case design, utilizing documentary analysis. The preliminary findings aim to strengthen these rights by integrating the principles of Sumak Kawsay to promote sustainable and environmentally respectful development. Keywords: biocentrism, environmental jurisprudence, sustainable governance, indigenous worldview, ecological constitutionalism.
