In this lecture, we will explore recent philosophical and legal innovations that are transforming our understanding of the relationship between society and nature. For decades, ecological ethics has advocated the importance of creating a new framework for interpreting and valuing nature, recognizing its intrinsic value. Now, law is joining this effort, developing legal-theoretical strategies that allow us to consider nature not as an object, but as a subject of law. We will present recent ecocentric proposals, such as the recognition of biocultural rights in various communities around the world and the attribution of rights and legal status to natural spaces such as rivers and lagoons. An outstanding case that we will analyze is that of the Mar Menor lagoon in Murcia, a pioneering example in its field. This activity is carried out in the framework of Speak4Nature (Interdisciplinary Approaches on Ecological Justice), a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Staff Exchanges project (MSCA-SE-2021 - 101086202).
