Why this matters
Right now, the mass destruction of nature is often not treated as a serious crime. Stop Ecocide International works to change this, supporting the development of ecocide law at national and international levels.
What we do
With your support, we help turn political will into legal change by:
- Diplomatic engagement with governments and international bodies
