    Situation

    From communities in resistance to lawyers litigating big business: land, environmental, and Indigenous rights activists are on the front line of the fight for our planet’s future. Their voices must be heard if we’re to stem the climate crisis, yet many live in fear of speaking out: more than four environmentalists are murdered every week, and many more face imprisonment, threats, and violence from powerful actors who wish to silence them and stop their critical work.

    Solution

    Every day, PBI helps thousands of people to safely defend their rights. Our diverse teams of international volunteers stand alongside activists at risk, using our unique model of ‘protective accompaniment’ to keep them alive. We work with environmental movements to identify the tools and networks that they need to ensure their work thrives, providing the resources they need to challenge vested interests. Together, we make sure when activists speak out, the world listens.
