- Environmental_Justice_Foundation abstract "The Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) founded in 2001 by Steve Trent and Juliette Williams that promotes the non-violent resolution of human rights abuses and related environmental issues in the Global South. It describes itself as “a UK-based non-profit organisation working internationally to protect the environment and human rights.”EJF's core tenet is set out in the Mission Statement on its website. It asserts that the injustices suffered by people living in poor and disenfranchised communities are often closely related the destruction, over-exploitation and other abuses of the local natural environment these people depend on. EJF makes direct links between the western world's demands for cheap food and other goods, especially fish, shrimp and cotton and degraded natural environments in poorer countries.In seeking to resolve environmental and human rights abuses, EJF works to give an international voice to vulnerable communities working to protect the local environment that sustains their basic human needs of a shelter, food and income.By 2010 its work had grown to cover five main campaigning areas 'Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated' fishing IUU Pesticide use Cotton production Shrimp farming Climate refugees.EJF has also campaigned on the issue of the trade in wild animals with NGO partner WildAid Much of the Environmental Justice Foundation's work involves training and equipping affected communities in producer countries to investigate, record and expose abuses and then campaign effectively for an equitable resolution to the issues.Emphasis is placed on the power of film, both to record irrefutable evidence of environmental injustice and to create strong campaigning messages. EJF reports in the 2008/09 Impact Report that it worked with local communities, organisations and Heads of State in 19 countries in this way.EJF also campaigns in the UK, Europe and internationally. It sees its role as a catalyst working to achieve long-term change, alerting governments, international policy makers, consumers and businesses to the damaging human and environmental effects that western demand has on the natural environment and local communities, primarily in the global south. EJF aims to catalyse action by key decision-makers in business and politics, along with individual action by consumers and concerned invidividuals. In April 2011 EJF collected 28,000 signatures via campaigning website Care2 calling for a global ban on deadly pesticide endosulfan.EJF campaigns directly to policy formers including the European Commission, Parliament and United Nations organisations. In January 2011 EJF presented a petition of 10,000 signatures to the UN in 2011 calling for a Global Record on Fishing Vessels.".
