2024 Year-end Newsletter: Living in Nature

CELDF’s Living in Nature year-end campaign theme emerges from our Truth, Reckoning, and Right Relationship with the Great Lakes gathering, the release of CELDF’s “Wouldn’t You Say?” book, our time in the Amazon with the Sarayaku people, and the launch of a rights of nature continuing legal education series, among other projects, presentations, and community support efforts. We hope you enjoy the articles, factoids, features, and spotlights of the people who make CELDF the powerhouse that it is through our 2024 End-of-Year Newsletter

Nearly every day, for almost 30 years now, people have been reaching out to CELDF for help. There is a knock at the door, and without hesitation, we welcome people in with a readiness to listen to what they have to say. We’ve had thousands of conversations leading to system-rattling challenges and changes and established long-running friendships with people and organizations from around the world. That willingness to be present, as well as being honest with those thousands of people is why CELDF has persevered over three decades and why we look to be around for years to come.

So thank you to those who have been supporting CELDF for a long time. And, an advanced thank you to all you new donors to CELDF. Individual donations are critical to our existence and continued work. We need your help. Communities and ecosystems all over the planet need our help.  

All the best and happy holidays! 

CELDF staff and partners
