PANAMA IS THE LATEST COUNTRY TO LEGALLY RECOGNISE THE RIGHTS OF NATURE

By Lucy Jones  March 7th, 2022

The laws recognise nature's "right to exist, persist and regenerate its life
cycles".

The rights of nature can now be defended in Panama's court system. The country
has introduced new legislation that grants rivers, trees, mountains and oceans
similar legal rights to people, corporations and governments.

Signed by Panama's president Laurentino Cortizo this month, the legislation
defines nature as "a unique, indivisible and self-regulating community of living
beings, elements and ecosystems interrelated to each other that sustains,
contains and reproduces all beings".

Some of the legal rights outlined in the legislation are:

 * The right to exist, persist and regenerate its life cycles.

 * The right to conserve its biodiversity.

 * The right to be restored after being affected directly or indirectly by any
   human activity.

The legislation also introduces a new requirement for government to respect the
rights of nature across its plans, policies and programs. It stipulates that
manufacturing processes and energy policies must safeguard ecosystems and
requires the government to promote rights of nature as part of foreign policy.

Panama joins other countries that have recognised nature's legal rights
including Bolivia, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Ecuador, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico
where the concept has been adopted in court, the legal system and even in the
constitution.
