Despite the growing prominence and use of Rights of Nature (RoN), doubts remain as to their tangible effect on environmental protection efforts. By analyzing two initiatives in post-colonial societies, we argue that they do influence the creation of institutionalized bridges between differing land-ownership regimes. Applying the methodology of inter-legality, we examine the Ecuadorian Constitution of 2008 and the Ugandan National Environment Act 2019. We identify five normative spheres that influence land-ownership regimes. We find that the established Ecuadorian RoN have an institutionalized effect on the nation's legal system. Their more recently established Ugandan counterpart shows potential to develop in the same direction.

自然权利作为土地所有权制度之间的桥梁:后殖民社会制度化相互作用的潜力
尽管自然权利 (RoN) 日益受到重视和使用,但其对环境保护工作的实际影响仍然存在疑问。通过分析后殖民社会中的两项举措,我们认为它们确实影响了不同土地所有权制度之间制度化桥梁的建立。我们运用法律间的方法,研究了 2008 年的厄瓜多尔宪法和 2019 年的乌干达国家环境法。我们确定了影响土地所有权制度的五个规范领域。我们发现,已建立的厄瓜多尔 RoN 对该国的法律体系具有制度化的影响。他们最近成立的乌干达同行显示出朝同一方向发展的潜力。
