What is Ecocide?
Ecocide is the destruction, damage and loss of ecosystems. It is happening on a mass scale, every day and it is getting worse. But we can change this – by making it a crime.
An international law of Ecocide would make CEOs and our Heads of State legally responsible for the Earth. People and planet would become the number one priority.
Ecocide is part of Earth law – a new body of law we need to protect the Earth.
Find out more about the problem, the solution and what you can do.
