 On Sunday [September 27, 2008], Ecuador ’s human citizens voted their approval of a new constitution; reports vary but approximately two-thirds of people voted yes.... The document included language making Ecuador the first nation to legislate rights for nature. ~“Ecuador Grants Rights to
Nature” http://blogs.nature.com/news/thegreatbeyond/2008/09/ecuador_grants_rights_to_natur.html
Included in the Constitutional document voted on: “Natural communities and ecosystems possess the unalienable right to exist, flourish and evolve within Ecuador . Those rights shall be self-executing, and it shall be the duty and right of all Ecuadorian governments, communities, and individuals to enforce those rights.” ~via http://www.ecozoicstudies.org/
“The idea of developing ‘Earth Jurisprudence’ [an international initiative] first emerged in 1996 through a workshop and talks at Schumacher College , by Thomas Berry.” ~http://www.earthjurisprudence.org/content/who.html
We celebrate the great work evolving. Namaste.
