Where We Work

Southeast Asia

The Mekong region, one of the most culturally and biologically diverse regions in the world, is facing growing threats from unsustainable development. These projects often violate human rights, deepen poverty, and degrade ecosystems and biodiversity amid an escalating climate crisis.

Latin America

We work hand in hand with communities, Indigenous and Afro-descendant organizations, and human rights defenders to ensure that their rights are guaranteed and respected, to advance environmental justice, and to demand accountability from corporations and governments.

United States

Our work in the U.S. combines two complementary approaches: groundbreaking transnational litigation and domestic advocacy.

Global

EarthRights International maintains deep, long-term commitments in the regions where we operate, while coordinating across our offices to advance shared global objectives. This dual approach ensures our regional work benefits from international collaboration and collective strategy, and increases the visibility and legitimacy of community demands while creating pressure for institutional change.

Advocacy

We collaborate with communities, human rights defenders, civil society organizations, and lawyers to challenge powerful interests that commit human rights abuses while exploiting the planet’s natural resources.
