Will you support our work to protect forests, defend indigenous rights and territories, and expose false solutions to climate change?

GJEP is a US 501c3 non-profit organization founded in Vermont in 2003, EIN # 81-0626946

For more than 20 years, we have prevented our wild forests from being invaded by dangerous genetically engineered trees, stopped massive logging campaigns, and worked in solidarity with Indigenous and traditional communities to protect their lands – where 80% of the world’s biodiversity is found.

Join us as we continue this work for the next 20 years!

In 2024, the Global Justice Ecology Project (GJEP) achieved remarkable milestones in its mission to protect forests and defend the rights of Indigenous and forest-dependent communities worldwide. From amplifying the struggles of the Mapuche people in Chile to mobilizing against genetically engineered (GE) trees at international forums, GJEP’s work demonstrates the power of solidarity and action in addressing ecological and social injustices.
