| Deskribapena: | This article examines the evolution of Costa Rican jurisprudence that treats Nature as a direct recipient of legal protection. It shows autonomous protection grounded in intrinsic value and in the principles of prevention, precaution, and non-regression. The analysis is framed by Advisory Opinion AO-32/25, which reaffirms the autonomous right to a healthy environment and the collective public-interest status of Nature. The article argues that Costa Rica is consolidating ecological constitutionalism aimed at effective biodiversity protection. |
