Stand up for the Environment

Who stands up for the environment and communities against the impacts of big polluters and reckless developers? EDO Qld does. Make a donation today, and join us in the fight to stop climate change.

The Environmental Defenders Office (Qld) Inc is a non-profit, community legal centre, practicing public interest environmental law.

How will the funds be used?

Your donation will assist legal challenges against big carbon polluters and unsustainable developments. We already have cases in court - with more being planned.

A court win means we delay the onset of dangerous climate change. Coal and gas companies are being put on notice that the community will not tolerate the impacts of carbon pollution.

EDO Qld has an excellent track record on environmental protection:

• We tackle major coal mines and climate change i.e. Queensland Conservation Council V Xstrata. We won in the Court of Appeal… but the government changed the law.
• We stop cruelty to animals and protect biodiversity. In a series of "bat cases", we successfully stopped electrocution of flying foxes by lychee farmers.
• We are active in law reform. New community enforcement rights in the Water Act 2000 and the Nature Conservation Act 1992 are directly due to EDO work. We speak up on reforming coal and gas laws.
• We help people to help themselves. Each year, we provide free legal information and advice to hundreds of individuals and community groups. We run free legal education workshops in rural and regional areas; and publish The Community Litigants Handbook - an essential 'how to' guide for people representing themselves in the Qld Planning & Environment court.
