Lawyers for Nature (LFN)

Description

Lawyers for Nature (LFN) is a community interest company and a collective of lawyers, researchers, strategists, academics, activists, students and campaigners working on behalf of Nature. Its approach is to reimagine the law and create systemic change so that life on Earth, in its many forms, may thrive. The organisation aims to reshape the legal system into one that protects the inherent rights of the natural world and to foster regenerative, ecocentric legal systems. It works to embed Rights of Nature into legal and organisational frameworks across the UK and globally, working with local, national and global policy makers, embedding Nature's voice into governance and organisational structures, educating others about the Rights of Nature movement, and supporting activists and campaigns. Its work is organised into five strands: Legal Imagination, Nature on the Board, On the Ground Activism, The School of Nature Law, and advancing the Rights of Nature movement. It co-founded the UK Rights of Nature Network in 2023 and is the UK partner of the Ecojurisprudence Monitor.
