For millions of people around the world, a degraded natural environment means hunger and brutal poverty that costs lives.

By providing film and advocacy training to partners in the global south EJF protects the natural environment and the people and wildlife that depend upon it by empowering local communities to investigate, expose and peacefully resolve abuses.

EJF campaigns internationally on the issues our grassroots partners work locally to solve including cotton production, pirate fishing, shrimp farming, pesticides, wildlife and climate refugees.

Through the Net charts EJF’s investigations into ‘pirate’ fishing in West Africa and tracks the journey of fish caught illegally in Sierra Leone to the European seafood market through the Spanish port of Las Palmas.

The film reveals gaps in the EU regulation to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fish and highlights steps that need to be taken to ensure that the regulation works effectively.

The film features interviews with the EU Fisheries Commissioner, Members of the European Parliament and fishing communities that suffer the impacts of ‘pirate’ fishing in West Africa.

The voiceover is provided by award-winning journalist and broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby.

 

EJF interviews Vivienne Westwood

EJF interviews Vivienne Westwood about her exclusive design in support of the No Place Like Home campaign for climate refugees.

The t-shirt inscribed with ‘How did I create 38 million climate refugees?’ is raising awareness of the millions of people who are already displaced as a result of environmental factors associated with climate change.

Climate refugees currently have no formal recognition or support, in this film, Vivienne Westwood explains why she is joining EJF to raise funds and awareness to secure their international recognition, protection and assistance.
