The Law of Mother Earth (“Ley de Derechos de La Madre Tierra”) holds the land as sacred and holds it as a living system with rights to be protected from exploitation, and creates 11 distinguished rights for the environment.

It was passed by Bolivia’s Plurinational Legislative Assembly. This 10 article law is derived from the first part of a longer draft bill, drafted and released by the Pact of Unity by November 2010. Can we please spread this law? There has to be a way for the free market to inter-operate with reverence for this planet. Period.

In accordance with the philosophy of Pachamama, it states:

“It makes world history. Earth is the mother of all,” said Vice-President Alvaro García Linera. “It establishes a new relationship between man and nature, the harmony of which must be preserved as a guarantee of its regeneration.”

The law enumerates seven specific rights to which Mother Earth and her constituent life systems, including human communities, are entitled:

To life

To the Diversity of Life genetically altered , nor artificially modified in their structure, in such a manner that threatens their existence, functioning and future potential

To water

To clean air

To equilibrium

To restoration

To live free of contamination toxic and radioactive waste generated by human activities
