Abstract
The revolution of the rights of nature has presented itself as unstoppable and rede-fining the legal-political frameworks for understanding the relationship between human beings and nature in Latin America, and Colombia is no exception. This article, from the study of the Colombian case, reconstructs and analyzes the challenging moment that its legal system is going through and defends as a central idea that, far from exemplifying a scenario of radical transformation through law for the recognition of non-human subjects coming from nature, some fleeting emancipations have made their way through judicial decisions in our context, graffitiing the most classic structures of the legal architecture in a permanent struggle against stabilizing reactions.
