Our Mission: Protecting People and Planet

EJF makes a direct link between the need for environmental security and the defence of basic human rights.

EJF empowers those people who suffer most from environmental abuses to find peaceful ways of preventing them. Our organisation is all about helping people to help themselves. Working with grassroots organisations in some of the world’s poorest countries, EJF cuts through political and commercial agendas to reach those people who so often lack a voice for their concerns.
 
EJF brings answers to questions that are not only about quality of life, but life or death.

EJF:

- Protects the natural environment and the people and wildlife that depend upon it by linking environmental security, human rights and social need

- Creates and implements solutions where they are needed most – training local people and communities who are directly affected to investigate, expose and combat environmental degradation and associated human rights abuses

- Provides training in the latest video technologies, research and advocacy skills to document both the problems and solutions, working through the media to create public and political platforms for constructive change

- Campaigns to raise international awareness of the issues our partners are working locally to resolve.
