The purpose of this paper is to analyze the universal declaration of Mother Earth¡¯s rights draft , considering the ontological foundations that support it. The aim is to understand the question asks about the sense of being through answers around the relationality to the whole, as well as to discuss the relevance of considering these ontological assumptions in a moment of history in which we are challenged by the continuity of human life on the planet.
