Abstract
The article tries to show how the ecocentric approach, which preaches Ecological Justice, finds full legal recognition today both in Jurisprudence and in Law. Three cases will be studied where Nature is recognized as a subject of law, that is, environmental entities, such as rivers or lagoon, are granted recognition as subjects of law with their own rights, which generates protection and restoration obligations. The first, the Atrato River in Colombia and the second, the Whanganui River in New Zealand. The study of these cases gave me the possibility of fighting for the rights of the Mar Menor, which is the third case study of this work: the Laguna del Mar Menor in Spain, Law 19/2022, of September 30, of recognition of legal personality to the Mar Menor Lagoon and its basin.
