Documentary abstract — original language

This chapter details in a case study format some significant attempts to frame ecosystem and environmental claims as personhood rights. In each case, the relevant conception of legal personhood will be placed in the context of the suite of rights and duties conferred in that legal system. Thus, the various incidents of legal personhood and their applicability to the environment or to parts of the environment will be compared. There are particular questions to be addressed in each case: What is the definition and extent of the entity in which rights have been declared? In whom is reposed responsibility for acting on behalf of the environment in enforcing rights-claims? Is the environment to be vested with personhood responsibilities and liabilities? In many of the more generous attributions of personhood, these questions have not been fully answered. In instances in which they have been answered, the extent of the provisions tends to be limited.
