Leave a gift in your will
A legacy gift to EJA will help shape the future of Australia's unique wildlife and landscapes and power system-changing legal work for a fair and flourishing world.
Your gift will also help us safeguard our climate, and make sure generations to come can enjoy our world as much as we do.
Environmental Justice Australia was founded on the belief that everyone has the right to a healthy environment and that all living things should have the chance to thrive.
Since 1991, we have been a leading public interest legal organisation, providing vital support for nature and community fighting to protect our forests, rivers, wildlife and communities. We advocate for environmental justice across Australia, with a focus on communities who need support the most.
This important work protect the people, places, and wildlife we love – and is only possible thanks to generous acts of giving.
"We’ve had firsthand experience in the value of Environmental Justice Australia. Without their expertise, groups like ours defending our environmental assets would be even further disadvantaged in counterbalancing highly financed, connected, and influential opponents.
— John and Robyn Pettigrew
"We consider that protecting the environment for future generations is a natural legacy and responsibility of our very fortunate generation.”
