      ab: This paper analyses the development of the rights of nature in Ecuadorian constitutional jurisprudence. Following the adoption of the 2008 Constitution, Ecuador became a guarantor of rights, including those of nature as a subject. In other words, the traditional approach to determining environmental liability for damage suffered by individuals was abandoned, and today, nature can be considered a victim of damage, even if no injury has been sustained to the individual or collective rights of persons. The article is based on extensive documentary research, including specialised literature, current legislation and, in particular, rulings No. 253-20-JH/22, No. 1149-19-JP/21, No. 2167-21-EP/22 and No. 22-18-IN/21 of the Constitutional Court. The deductive-analytical method was employed to understand the reasoning of judges in cases relating to the rights of nature.
