Die aanbieding getiteld "The challenge to take rights of nature seriously in Bolivia" analysed the recognition and evolution of the Rights of Nature in Bolivia and the challenges of the enforcement of these rights in that country. The Bolivian experience of granting rights to nature, together with its strengths and limitations, provides some lessons that may serve as an example to other countries worldwide for a paradigm shift from antropocentrism to ecocentrism".
