Summary
In 2015, Senators Fernando Solanas and Ruben Giustiniani submitted a proposal of a law for the rights of nature to the House of Representatives. The law lists eight distinct rights. Fundamental to the law is the shift from an anthropocentric paradigm to a socio biocentric one which reshapes human relation to nature. The rights given to nature in this proposal aim to change human understanding and value of nature. The law calls for both governmental and civil action.
