Mecanismos de protección de los Derechos de la Naturaleza con especial énfasis en Ecuador.

Abstract

The present work of qualification, identifies which are the mechanisms for the protection of the Rights of nature in Ecuador, making a significant difference on the concept of "Nature" as a subject of rights and as it came to be recognized this way, and the concept of "Environment" as the subject of rights. The overall objective is to analyze the mechanisms that have been implemented at national and international level on the legal regime of the nature and scope within the country, as well as the methods that has implemented the State to protect Nature. It includes three analysis of emblematic cases and great contribution to the rights of the nature, as they are in our country the case: Sarayaku vs. Ecuador; Protection action in favor of Vilcabamba River; and Habeas Corpus in favor of the orang-utan Sandra in Buenos Aires city. It is concluded that the protection mechanisms that currently owns Ecuador are divided into three which are: Normative guarantees, jurisdictional guarantees and public policies, but no protection exercised on Nature as a subject of rights
