CDER's Ecuador attorney Hugo Echeverría talks with Swedish rights of nature and environmental activist - and podcaster - Pella Thiel.

Hugo and Pella talk about how it became possible for nature to be recognised as a rights holder in the Ecuador Constitution, and how Ecuador’s Constitutional Court has weighed in to define what it means.

Hugo describes some of the most significant cases, and discusses how Ecuador’s constitutional framework has influenced international law systems.
