Rights of Nature Reach Europe: The Mar Menor Case in Spain in the Light of Latin American Precedents

On September 30, 2022, the Spanish Senate approved the „Mar Menor Act“ (Law 19/2022) which granted legal personality to the Mar Menor lagoon and its basin. Being the first legal text in Europe to recognize a natural entity as a subject of rights, it is one more piece in the mosaic of a global movement towards ecological justice, which tries to find strong legal answers in times of global ecological crisis.
