Our story also covers how Ecuador's President has won approval to ask voters for permission to rewrite the constitution.

Doing so could strip Ecuador's recognition of nature's rights from the constitution, in what would be a significant blow to the worldwide rights of nature movement.

The rights of nature is one of the fastest-growing movements on the planet. Now, scientists are increasingly signing on, working with Indigenous communities and others to advance laws and philosophies on behalf of the more-than-human world.

Hoy lloramos su partida, pero también celebramos su legado. Su espíritu seguirá vivo en cada lucha por la justicia ecológica y en cada ser vivo que sigue habitando la Tierra gracias a su trabajo. Gracias, Jane, por mostrarnos cómo defender a la Naturaleza con valentía, sabiduría y compasión. 🌿🐒

Apoyó activamente iniciativas que buscan reconocer a los ecosistemas como sujetos de derechos, como lo hizo firmando cartas en defensa del bosque nublado de Los Cedros en Ecuador, cuya victoria histórica marcó un hito en la jurisprudencia de los Derechos de la Naturaleza.

Con profundo dolor, desde la Alianza despedimos a Jane Goodall, una de las más grandes defensoras de la vida en nuestro planeta.

Su incansable compromiso por los animales, los ecosistemas y por un mundo más justo y armonioso con la Naturaleza fue una inspiración inmensa para nuestro movimiento.

Today we grieve her departure, but we also celebrate her legacy. Her spirit will live on in every struggle for ecological justice and in every living being that continues to thrive on Earth thanks to her work. Thank you, Jane, for showing us how to defend Nature with courage, wisdom & compassion 🌿🐒

She actively supported efforts to recognize ecosystems as subjects of rights, including signing letters in defense of the Los Cedros cloud forest in Ecuador, whose landmark legal victory became a milestone in Rights of Nature jurisprudence.

Jane was a dear ally of the Rights of Nature cause: Throughout her life, she used her powerful voice to speak out against the destruction of life and to help pave the way toward a new paradigm of respect and reciprocity.
