Conference: The Western Right and the Bolivian Perspective Face Mother Earth's Rights
Academic spaces have always been useful for intelectual growth. In this conference, imparted by professor Jesús Vergara Cuentas, who talked about the importance of the Mother Earth’s statu quo and its relationship with the man, the public had the opportunity to reflect about how people is living face the nature.
According to the speaker, there are two positions: people who think that, if we take care of the nature, we take care of human race at the same time, and people who think that it is necesary to take care of the nature because of its intrisic values.
The first stance is called anthropocentric and the second one ecocentric. Both will bring real, legal and social consequences.
Reflecting about la Pachamama or Mother Earth as a subject of rights, is reflecting about a living being that has to be protected and colsulted at the moment of start new projects.
It is important to ask: Where will our world end if we continue destroying our natural resources? It is also important to know that the nature statu quo in the judicial sphere is being discussed in order to change the way we see the nature. In other words, we are all invited to stop seing the nature like an instrumented object, to start to see it like a subject of rights.
