They founded Natural Justice on a shoestring budget to ensure better protection of the rights and responsibilities of indigenous peoples and local communities at the local, national and international level. The organisation sought to combine legal empowerment with social mobilisation to support communities to better understand the effects laws and legal processes were having on them, and to develop robust, proactive responses to protect and promote their ways of life. This focused beginning led to the organisation developing a number of programmes, which now cover issues such as governance of land and natural resources, customary use, conservation, climate change, and extractives and infrastructure projects. Natural Justice: Lawyers for Communities and the Environment specialises in human rights and environmental law in Africa in pursuit of both social and environmental justice. support indigenous peoples and local communities and their supporting organisations. provide technical advice to governments and intergovernmental organisations.
