"In a quiet corner of the Ecuadorian Andes, a chorus of frogs has sparked a
global conversation about environmental justice. These aren’t just any
amphibians from Ecuador – they’re symbols of resistance, biodiversity, and
legal innovation.

In a recent paper, researchers from the University of Vermont’s Institute for
Agroecology and international collaborators explore how Ecuador’s pioneering
constitutional recognition of the Rights of Nature is changing the way we think
about law, justice, and the planet.

The study presents Ecuador as a test case for reimagining governance systems in
favor of both people and ecosystems."
