| Summary: |
Ecuador is one of the Latin American countries with great wealth in terms of biodiversity, where a large number of protected areas dedicat-ed exclusively to conservation are protected. In view of these characteristics and commitment to nature, Ecuador is one of the pioneers in enshrining various innovations and singularities in the management of environmental issues in its Constitution and other legal instruments. The fundamental objective of this research is to summarize what is related to the Environmental Legislation in Ecuador, with emphasis on the Constitution, the Environmental Management Law and the Organic Code of the Environment. The research was carried out under a bibliographic documentary type methodology, under the review modality. From the review it is clear that Ecuador has a legal body that cre-ates a precedent in environmental matters, beginning with its constitutional regulations which is considered to have evolved with respect to the recognition of rights related to the environment, similar, at the same time, they have gone approving other secondary regulations at the level of laws, ministerial agreements and other guidelines that contribute to the generation of policies that protect nature from the State. In conclusion, Ecuadorian legislation over time has undergone great and positive changes in terms of environmental matters. Starting from the 2008 Constitution, which resulted in a paradigm shift in the conception of the environment, where the mere protection of it, based on the environment as an object of law, is surpassed by the consecration of the environment as a subject of law. In this sense, and since this evolution, at the same time a whole body of laws, ministerial agreements and other guidelines have been promulgated, which allow the necessary State policies to be generated for the protection and conservation of nature. |
