Résumé documentaire — langue originale

Though modeled on human rights, the only successful applications of the rights of nature to-day have been domestic. There has never been a case of the rights of nature being protected against a state, and though the absence of such a case does not prove anything, nor would its existence prove that the contradiction between universality and belonging, which is inherent in rights themselves, would have disappeared. The first protection of the rights of nature in a court of law happened in Ecuador. There, the Vilcabamba river won a lawsuit against the provincial government which had approved a project of road expansion adjacent to its banks, without carrying out an environmental assessment. The flow of the river was modified by the dumping of gravel, rock, trees, and other material excavated on the site, narrowing its width and thereby quadrupling its flow. This caused significant erosion and flooding to the lands downriver when the spring rains came. When the provincial government began dumping anew, the landowners sued. Instead of pursuing the case on the basis of property rights, the plaintiffs invoked the recently constitutionalized rights of nature. (Daly, 2012, p. 63) The provincial court of Loja vindicated nature’s constitutional rights, and awarded damages to the river directly, together with a host of other measures, including a public apology by the culprits, to be published in a daily newspaper.
