Summary: Vegetation is not only part of the category of living beings, but is also one of its main players in that it allows other members to live. Without vegetation, the Earth would be irrespirable, like thousands of other inert planets in the universe. However, despite this key role in the chain of circumstances that enabled the emergence and maintenance of life on Earth, vegetation is not always protected and does not have inalienable rights. Rather, in recent centuries of vortex development, it has been understood as a resource to be exploited, instrumentalising its role in the service of the human species and industrialising its presence on the face of the Earth. He has been protected only on the basis of Zoni -specialties — reserves — as if they were only used as back-up when nothing more remains to be exploited.

On that basis, we can also question whether entities that are more than human entities may also have a legal subjective nature that protects them in themselves and not just under the category of 'Reservation'. ; Resumen: La vegetación no sólo forma parte de la categoría 'seres vivos', sino que además es uno de sus principales protagonistas en cuanto permite que los demás miembros vivan. Sin vegetación, la Tierra sería irrespirable, tal como miles de otros planetas inertes del universo. Pero, a pesar de ese rol clave en el encadenamiento de circunstancias que permitió el surgimiento y la mantención de la vida en la Tierra, la vegetación no siempre está protegida ni tiene derechos inalienables. Más bien, en los últimos siglos de desarrollo voraz, ha sido entendida como un recurso a ser explotado, instrumentalizando su rol al servicio de la especie humana e industrializando su presencia sobre la faz de la Tierra. Sólo se le ha protegido en función de zonificaciones especiales - reservas - como si sólo sirvieran ...
