This article discusses Earth’s Rights as an environmental justice mechanism of reparation, protection, and justice for indigenous communities, environmental defenders, and other populations in Latin America. We argue that Earth’s rights encompass and include the right to health and can be integrated into international human rights frameworks to protect all forms of life, responding to colonial legacies of discrimination and violence. We respond to the scarcity of literature discussing Earth’s rights in relation to situations where human rights and Earth’s rights are violated. We ground our argument in the theoretical conceptualization of Latin American proposals of Earth’s rights and its potential for actionable policy approaches that include human health as inevitably interconnected to our planet’s well-being. We address the environmental injustices that affect the right to health and argue that an Earth’s rights framework can support reparations for historically marginalized communities
