Résumé documentaire — langue originale

In Brazil, an anthropocentric model is adopted regarding environmental legislation. The pressure exerted by human activity on the natural world and the pursuit of unlimited economic growth have led to biodiversity loss, species extinction, and the exhaustion of nature’s limits. In this context, the central issue addressed in this paper is the possibility of recognizing Nature as a subject of rights in Brazil, based on a comparative legal analysis with Ecuador, Bolivia, and Colombia. As for methodology, a literature review was conducted, drawing on both national and international sources, including theses, official documents, scholarly literature on the topic, and jurisprudence from the courts of these countries. The results include: (i) a comparison of the rights of Nature in Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Colombia; and (ii) an analysis of Nature as a subject of rights in these countries, highlighting its relevance to the emerging Ecological Paradigm. The paper begins by examining the problem of unlimited economic growth, presenting the theories of Degrowth and Doughnut Economics. It then explores proposals for a New Ecological Paradigm, including the Theory of Natural Contract and Humanist Capitalism. Subsequently, the analysis turns to the rights of Nature, with an emphasis on the principles of “Harmony with Nature” and Buen Vivir, as well as the main legal provisions concerning the rights of Nature in the Constitutions of Ecuador and Bolivia. Landmark judicial decisions in Colombia are highlighted, particularly those that recognized Nature as a subject of rights, such as the legal action brought on behalf of the Atrato River and the case of the Colombian Amazon. Finally, two court rulings from Brazil are analyzed, both involving Nature as a subject of rights: the case of the Doce River and the decision regarding the parrot “Verdinho.” The study concludes with an examination of the Organic Law of the Municipality of Bonito-PE, which, in an unprecedented move, explicitly provides for the protection of both human and non-human beings.
