Protecting People and Planet

EJF makes a direct link between the need for environmental security and the defence of basic human rights
 
EJF is a registered charity established in 2000 to empower people who suffer most from environmental abuses to find peaceful ways of preventing them.

EJF provides film and advocacy training to individuals and grassroots organisations in the global south, enabling them to document, expose and create long term solutions to environmental abuses.

EJF campaigns internationally to raise awareness of the issues our grassroots partners are working to solve locally.

Today EJF has a team of campaigners and film-makers based in London, and works internationally with partners in Brazil, Vietnam, Mali, Uzbekistan and Indonesia.
 

EJF In Action: Watch Our Short Film



 
"To my view the Environmental Justice Foundation is pretty unique in bringing people and environment together. We will never conserve and nurture our environment including the diversity of its wildlife if we ignore the need of the people who have to live and work in these areas"
George Alagiah, Journalist and BBC News Presenter
 

Why We Do It

EJF believes that protecting the environment is not just about quality of life, it is a question of life and death for the world’s poorest people. We believe that environmental security is a human right.


For millions of people around the world, the result of a degraded environment is hunger, brutal poverty and vulnerability.


From the highest levels of the United Nations to villages in Cambodia we have witnessed how dedicated individuals can change our world for the better. This is why EJF was established - to act as a catalyst for change.

 
It's easy to help us protect people and planet.

EJF's work is simple, direct and effective and deserves your support.

Help us build solutions where they are needed most.
