Persecution of Environmental Defenders: For the indigenous whose land contains coveted natural resources, the struggle to protect the planet often involves risking everything.
- Where is protecting the planet most dangerous?
- Where does speaking up and organizing for the rights of nature risk a person’s freedom or even his/her life?
- Which communities most need support in facing the impacts of pollution?
- Where are there opportunities to stand as allies for those persecuted?
- Our organization has software to generate email campaigns. We need volunteers to draft petitions to international organizations to advocate for environmental detainees.
- There is an explanation of this problem and current on-going efforts to address it here.
- While a handful of leading organizations is important, we believe that a chorus is more powerful in bringing widespread attention to this critical reality.
- Join the chorus with us. Help us help those on the front lines.
