We believe that environmental security is not just about quality of life, it is a basic human right

We believe that environmental security is not just about quality of life, it is a basic human right

Every day vulnerable people are stripped of their rights, freedom and identity. They are victims of the environmental destruction being inflicted on our shared planet.

Driven by our core values of integrity, innovation and impact, EJF uses investigations and film to uncover these environmental and human rights abuses. We work for environmental justice, to protect the natural environment and the people and wildlife that depend upon it. Environmental security is a basic human right, and we go to the ends of the earth to defend people and planet.

Protecting marine ecosystems and livelihoods

Our global ocean is the ‘blue beating heart’ of our planet, driving the systems that make our world habitable. It is home to between 500,000 and 10 million species, many of which have yet to be identified. EJF campaigns to protect the global ocean, its biodiversity and the livelihoods that depend upon it.

Ending the loss of our critical ‘life support systems’

EJF is campaigning to stop this wanton destruction of wetlands and forests, securing protection for the Pantanal in Brazil and Canada’s ancient forests. Our investigations and support to local partners, journalists and Indigenous communities expose those responsible and trigger vital policy changes and protections.
