Documentary abstract — original language
This contribution aims at illustrating the complex procedural issue of standing for the rights of nature from a comparative civil justice perspective. Following a preliminary definition of the rights, the paper distinguishes two models: the general recognition of nature as holder of rights and the granting of rights directly to particular natural entities. Through analysis of paradigmatic juridical experiences (Ecuador and Bolivia for the first group, and New Zealand, Colombia, India, and Spain for the second), it identifies a common challenge to the traditionally grounded category of procedural representation, in particular moving beyond another's interest toward a shared, symbiotic interest between ecosystems and human communities. Three approaches, across both models, will emerge: broader standing, state-appointed representation, and a hybrid combination, each reflecting different legal-anthropological cultural contexts.
