Documentary abstract — original language

Developments in Ecuador, New Zealand, Spain, and elsewhere show how legal representation for the nonhuman world has begun to take hold around the world, varying with local circumstances. Ecuador’s 2008 constitution broke new ground by including rights for nature, but these have since been wielded by the government in questionable cases. New Zealand and Spain have pioneered the granting of legal personhood to specific natural objects—a former national park and Europe’s largest saltwater lagoon.
