| Sumario: | Granting rights to nature has become increasingly common in disparate parts of the world: from the rights of nature (RoN) provisions written into the Ecuadorian Constitution to the legal entity status granted to Te Urewera in Aotearoa/New Zealand and, for example, the rights recently accorded to Mar Menor in Spain. Understanding the rights of nature: a critical introduction: by Mihnea Tanasescu, Bielefeld, transcript Verlag, 2022, 168 pp., €40.00 (paperback); Open Access (e-book), ISBN 9783839454312, 9783837654318 and 9783839454312 It does so most concretely by going into two cases with a radically different history and way of thinking about RoN: the legal entity/personhood status of Te Urewera and the Whanganui river in Aotearoa/New Zealand (Chapter 4).
