In fact, in Ecuador, we've recognized nature's rights. At first, it was symbolic, because it was about changing people's relationship with nature so that they see it as a living being or a person who can suffer harm. Symbolic gestures can change the way we look at things. The Canadian flag, for example, is a symbol we honour, and we don't use it as a towel. This would change our relationship with the river. We would honour it and respect it because it would have rights as a legal person.
In the past, we women weren't considered persons, and people wondered why we'd be granted that status. People laughed about it. Even the Supreme Court said we weren't people. Today, we're people and it's become normal. We have rights and we can be here to advance new ideas.
Nature is also the subject of a second revolution, which will lead to the establishment of rights. So, at some point, we might see a tribunal, as we saw in Ecuador, put the rights of a mountain and those of a multinational in the balance to decide which wins.
