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.

Education

Engage CELDF’s decades of experience as we demystify systemic injustice, expose official deceptions, and deconstruct maliciously erected legal barriers.

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.
