A lawsuit has been filed on behalf of Gulf of California whales, claiming they deserve legal protections equivalent to human rights.
A coalition of organizations has filed a potentially groundbreaking lawsuit seeking to have the Gulf of California declared a "critical habitat" in accordance with Mexico's General Wildlife Law.
- The lawsuit aims to conserve and protect the species that live in the Gulf of California.
- It also seeks to halt the expansion of fossil gas megaprojects in the area, known as the "Aquarium of the World."
The litigation hopes to pave the way for legal recognition of nature as a subject of rights.
The lawsuit was filed in District Courts in the state of Sonora and in Mexico City on September 30.
