We invite you to attend this in-person conference on December 7th, where the Center for Democratic and Environmental Rights (CDER) attorney, Hugo Echeverria, will be presenting on a panel on the protection of marine life in the Galapagos, which will also include renowned USFQ Professors Alex Hearn and Juan Manuel Guayasamín, both experts on Galapagos issues as well as on protected species.

This conference is an opportunity to learn about the challenges the Galapagos Marine Reserve faces regarding the protection of marine life. This is the first event organized by the CDER focusing on the “blue” perspective of the rights of nature, a topic that is receiving growing attention by the rights of nature movement worldwide.

In Ecuador, the Constitution secured the rights of nature - Pacha Mama - in 2008. 

A livestream option is also available here.
