What We Do

We help communities thrive.

Today’s local governments and ecosystems struggle to exist under inordinate pressures from state and corporate entities. CELDF exists to provide the resources communities around the globe need to resist these forces, discover their own autonomy, and create thriving ecosystems for humans and nature alike.

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.

CELDF has been dedicated to the cause of Nature and community for three decades. Our thirty years (and counting) of effort to change the world have been covered in multiple documentaries as well as the largest media and communications channels in the world.
