The growth of industrial civilization is destroying the last wild habitats on Earth in a mad rush for resource extraction, causing biodiversity to plummet and destabilizing our climate.

Electric cars and grid-storage batteries are no more sustainable than fracked gas or tar sands. True sustainability means that we must use only what the Earth can regenerate—and that use must not degrade the planet.

With every indicator of ecological health heading in the wrong direction, our modern way of life will not last. That is the definition of “unsustainable.” We face a choice around the world: will we sacrifice the planet for temporary material wealth, or will we make a change?

Our goal is to defend land for the inherent, inalienable value it has, as well as to protect water, biodiversity, and traditional cultural sites.

We work in solidarity with Indigenous Nations and traditional people, grassroots environmental organizations, and local communities who are affected by frontline projects. We also stand in solidarity with communities facing off against mining and other extractive industries around the world.
