EJF Mission Statement: Protecting People and Planet
EJF makes a direct link between the need for environmental security and the defence of basic human rights.EJF empowers those people who suffer most from environmental abuses to find peaceful ways of preventing them. Our organisation is all about helping people to help themselves. Working with grassroots organisations in some of the world’s poorest countries, EJF cuts through political and commercial agendas to reach those people who so often lack a voice for their concerns. EJF brings answers to questions that are not only about quality of life, but life or death.
EJF:- Protects the natural environment and the people and wildlife that depend upon it by linking environmental security, human rights and social need.
Creates and implements solutions where they are needed most – training local people and communities who are directly affected, to investigate, expose and combat environmental degradation and associated human rights abuses.
Provides training in the latest video technologies, research and advocacy skills to document both the problems and solutions, working through the media to create public and political platforms for constructive change.
Campaigns to raise international awareness of the issues our partners are working to resolve locally.
PICK YOUR COTTON CAREFULLY
Worth $35 billion every year, global cotton production should be improving lives. But forced and child labour, massive use of toxic pesticides and overuse of the world’s water means that cotton is creating misery for millions.Support EJF’s campaign to end abuses, and support organic and fairly traded cotton.DEFENDING OCEANSThe world’s oceans are being plundered like never before. Illegal or ‘pirate’ fishing is killing wildlife and stealing food and livelihoods from the world’s poorest communities. The deadly toll includes the capture of dolphins, seabirds and turtles which are discarded back over the side, dying or dead.Support EJF’s campaign to protect oceans and lives, and stop the modern day pirates.
SHRIMP, FORESTS AND HUMAN RIGHTS
To satisfy our demand for shrimp, thousands of miles of coastal habitats around the world have been destroyed. Forests and wildlife have been lost, and water and soil is polluted by shrimp farms. Protests by local communities have been met with threats, intimidation and violence.Support EJF’s campaign for greater protection for people, wildlife and forests by promoting an end to unsustainable shrimp farming.
