Rights of nature indigenous peoples and communities

Ecuador with the 2008 Constitution adopted a plurinational State that recognizes the rights of indigenous peoples communities and nationalities catalogued as one of the current constitutions guaranteeing rights and the first magna carta in the world to attribute rights to nature. However the struggle of indigenous peoples communities and nationalities for the realization of their rights has been a long and difficult road to travel as evidenced in the case of Sarayaku vs. Ecuador the violations that have occurred since before the codification of the constitutional norms have affected the dignified life of these peoples the concessions under standards with little or no regulation of compliance with environmental impact standards have caused a decline in the quality of life of peoples who have made nature their home. The State is responsible for guaranteeing the enjoyment of constitutional rights through the creation of specific norms to regulate the behavior of companies and if they incur in violations to establish reparations in accordance with the damage caused both to the people and to nature in order to compensate for the damage.
