Changing the World
Committed to Nature.
Dedicated to Community.
CELDF partners with people and communities to establish local self-governance necessary for living harmoniously within the boundaries of ecology.
What We Do
We help communities thrive.
CELDF exists to help communities confront the root causes of ecological and social injustice and build new systems of law and governance rooted in self-determination and right-relationship with Earth.

Consultation
CELDF advises and supports communities in taking action to achieve systemic and paradigmatic shifts in environmental and corporate policy.

Community Resistance & Resilience
CELDF teaches communities to reclaim healthy relations with natural environments and practice self-defense against government-sanctioned corporate charters.
WHO WE ARE
We’re movers and shakers.
For over thirty years, CELDF has bridged the gap between nature and community. Multiple documentaries as well as the largest media and communications channels worldwide frequently feature our efforts toward urgent, transformative change.
