WRIT OF KALIKASAN
The Rights of Nature is reinforced with the Writ of Kalikasan in the pursuit of ecological justice through legal philosophy and environmental advocacy. The Rights of Nature, an emerging legal concept, recognizes the inherent value and entitlement of ecosystems to exist, flourish, and regenerate.
The Writ of Kalikasan is a legal remedy in the Philippines designed to protect the environment from threats of harm or imminent danger. The synergy between the Rights of Nature and the Writ of Kalikasan reflects a growing awareness of our interconnectedness with the planet, fostering a legal framework that transcends human-centric interests, emphasizing the intrinsic value of the environment. Together, they pave the way for a future where legal systems not only safeguard human rights but also champion the rights of the Earth itself.
The Supreme Court of the Philippines has issued the Writ of Kalikasan on several instances. Some of the cases were:
- to stop the commercial release of genetically modified rice and eggplant products
- to stop mining operations in Brooke's Point, Palawan
- on the National Solid Waste Management Commission and agencies on plastic pollution lawsuit
- to stop mining operations in Sibuyan Island, Romblon
