The city government appealed the ruling, which is based on an article of Ecuador\u2019s Constitution that recognises the rights of natural features like the Mach\u00e1ngara River. Activists who filed the complaint said Sunday the decision is \u201chistoric\u201d. The court ruled that while appeals proceed, the government will have to come up with a plan to clean up the Mach\u00e1ngara.<\/p>\n<p>The city of 2.6 million people dumps all sorts of effluents and contaminants into the Mach\u00e1ngara, which starts high in the Andes mountains. But by the time it runs through Quito, it encounters problems such as a near-total lack of treatment of the wastewater that is dumped into it. \u201cThe river carries away tonnes of garbage that comes down from gullies and hillsides,\u201d according to the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature (GARN). The river has average levels of 2 per cent oxygen, which makes it difficult for aquatic life to thrive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe municipality has been declared responsible for rights violations and must now establish a specific plan for the decontamination of the Mach\u00e1ngara River, following the Monjas River ruling, including concrete measures and ensuring active community participation.\u201d A spokesperson from environmental NGO CEDENMA added, &#8220;Today we celebrate great news: the Mach\u00e1ngara River in Ecuador has been recognized as a subject of rights and its restoration has been ordered. We dream of a clean, mint-smelling river, as it once was.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/07\/08\/great-news-ecuador-river-is-granted-the-right-to-not-be-polluted-in-historic-court-case\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-557\/\">&#8216;Great news&#8217;: Ecuador river is granted the right to not be polluted in historic court case<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[4819,575,15208],"class_list":["post-132251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ecuador","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-machangara-river"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132251"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132251\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
