A landmark case was won in 2021 ruling against the rights of a mining company to mine los cedros’ cloud forest, a high altitude rainforest, because it would harm the biodiversity of the area.
All of the permits issued were canceled upon the ruling.

Nature has had constitutional rights for many years, yet new mining and drilling projects have been approved since then.
Its great to have, but weather or not a project gets stopped just depends how much money is to be made and who ia paid off, unfortunately
The protections are not meant to prevent all human activity. It’s meant to provide an unchanging legal base upon which to legislate and regulate human activity.
