Gulf of California Whales Sue for Their Right to a Livable Habitat
A coalition of organizations has filed a lawsuit on behalf of Gulf of California whales, claiming they deserve legal protections equivalent to human rights.
The lawsuit, accepted by a district judge, seeks to have the Gulf of California declared a "critical habitat" to conserve and protect the species that live there, as required by Mexico's General Wildlife Law, the Constitution, and international treaties.
The litigation also aims to halt the expansion of fossil gas megaprojects in the Gulf of California, known as the "Aquarium of the World."
The lawsuit, filed in District Courts in Sonora and Mexico City on September 30, hopes to pave the way for legal recognition of nature as a subject of rights.
