Summary

In 2015, the Constitutional Court of Ecuador admitted an appeal for protection (acción de protección) filed by Mr. David Ricardo Salvador Peña, provincial director of the Ministry of Environment in Pastaza to annul a previous ruling confirming the execution of the project “EXPANSION AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE DRINKING WATER SYSTEM IN THE PARISHES OF MERA, SHELL, MADRE TIERRA (STAGE 1: CAPTATION AND TIGRE RIVER TREATMENT PLANT) OF THE CANTON MERA, PROVINCE OF PASTAZA”. The Constitutional Court alleges the lack of legal motivation on the possibility of not guaranteeing fundamental rights, such as the one recognized in the Ecuadorian Constitution on the rights of nature, environmental protection, and good living.
