IRS990/Desc0The Environmental Defender Law Center (EDLC) helps individuals and communities in developing countries who are confronting threats or harm to their environment and human rights. EDLC assists these environmental defenders by finding lawyers around the world to advocate, negotiate, and litigate on their behalf and by providing strategic advice, legal resources, and other support to develop and strengthen the legal actions. In 2019, EDLC staff worked with over thirty-five law firms and NGOs, several volunteer scientists, and numerous lawyers acting in conjunction with EDLC and its partners on over forty-five matters in nearly two dozen countries. The number of individuals helped in each case ranged from one to tens of thousands, with the majority of cases being brought on behalf of communities of hundreds or thousands of individuals. In addition to other forms of assistance--including strategic guidance, drafting legal briefs, and recruiting pro bono lawyers and scientists--EDLC provided grants and funding for litigation expenses through agreements with individuals and groups in fifteen countries. The objective of all of these efforts was to assist environmental defenders by helping to: 1) defend against violations of their civil and political rights resulting from unfounded criminal charges and civil lawsuits, and to seek to end the culture of impunity for such violations, 2) try to stop unwanted resource development projects that threaten the health, way of life, and environment of affected communities, 3) obtain redress from corporations and governments for harms caused to communities by resource development projects, and 4) support lawsuits fighting climate change.
