This paper's purpose is to analyze the importance of popular participation in the constructing of environmental rights in sovereign States; likewise, this research focuses on how this process has been assimilated in the Brazilian legal system. Furthermore, we should note that this process has the aim of the jurisdiction´s democratization, which also aims to protect the environment. However, there are growing limitations in regards to the involvement of the community in issues related to the environment, such as indirect participation in class actions. This study intends to demonstrate the importance of the environment´s right to personality when suffering moral or extra-patrimonial injuries within its own community and it should be included, even if reflexively, so that the principle of full compensation of damages can be implemented. Therefore, this paper addresses the possibility of compensation for extra-patrimonial environmental damage based on democratic jurisdiction.Downloads
