The Environmental Defender Law Center (EDLC) is a Seattle-based organization dedicated to protecting the human rights of individuals and communities in developing countries who are fighting against environmental harm. EDLC provides free legal assistance, resources, and grants to environmental defenders around the world, working in 60 countries and supporting climate change litigation, advocating for indigenous rights, and addressing land conflicts, among other issues.

With a team of partnering lawyers and a track record of successful cases, EDLC has played a crucial role in obtaining freedom for wrongfully accused environmental defenders and setting international precedents through historic court rulings. Their work has been instrumental in supporting communities in their fight against harmful projects, such as mining operations and coal plants, and addressing government failures to address climate change and deforestation.
