Earth Law Center is building a global force of advocates for the rights of nature.  We work to ensure that laws of all governments recognize and protect nature’s inherent rights to exist, thrive and evolve. Through this work, we envision a future in which nature and humankind flourish together.

Initiatives include advocacy projects on behalf of particular ecosystems and species (with a particular focus on water), university educational programs, and action at the international level to halt continued "co-violations"​ of nature's rights and human rights.
