Natural Justice: Lawyers for Communities and the Environment, the lead organisation is a not-for-profit organisation registered in South Africa and Kenya with hubs in Cape Town, Nairobi and Dakar.

Solidarity with African Environmental and Land Defenders aims to support indigenous peoples and local communities and their grassroots organisations in up to seven countries in Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, DRC, Nigeria, Senegal, Uganda and Madagascar)in their efforts to resist and be protected against such threats as they defend their collective lands and territories of life. The actions and forms of support are both defensive and preventative in nature and respond directly to their self-determined needs and priorities, including, inter alia, awareness campaigns, trainings, digital and physical security measures, legal support, and communications platforms for regional and global advocacy.

The project supports indigenous peoples and local communities to remain on their customary lands and territories and continue their self-determined ways of life and livelihoods. In addition,  the project supports indigenous peoples and communities, especially those who are routinely marginalised and discriminated against and face multiple intersectional inequalities, to advocate for legal and political recognition for their contributions to conservation and sustainable development and for their rights and collective responsibilities to defend their lands and territories.
