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.

This team spearheads advocacy projects for critical ecosystems, particularly water resources, while engaging in educational initiatives at universities and international platforms to combat violations of both nature's and human rights. By leveraging expertise in environmental policy, legal advocacy, and governance, the team aims to create meaningful change at local, national, and global levels.
