Abstract
The new consideration for the traditional and cultural roots in Latin America determined an important change in the political asset. Indigenous ancestral principles favoured a cosmocentric and geocentric point-of-view, and defined Nature as the personification of the Mother Earth, a subject entitled of rights and legal interests, able to file a lawsuit before the Courts. The essay aims to reconstruct the role of the cultural dimension in the recognition, and in the implementation of the rights of Nature in Ecuador and Colombia. The analysis of the Courts’ decisions marks a series of differences, and similarities in the protection of Nature.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
