We are please to announce that on 5th April at 18:00-19:30, UKELA will be holding a Careers Advice Session with Directors at Lawyers for Nature, Brontie Ansell and Paul Powlesland. Anyone is welcome to attend the free, informal Zoom session, but spaces are limited to 25 so you are encouraged to create a UKELA account and book your spot via this page as soon as possible.
Once Brontie and Paul have spoken, there will be plenty of opportunity to ask any questions so please do come prepared. The sessions will be recorded and made available on the UKELA (UK Environmental Law Association) website so please don't worry if you are unable to join a particular event. We will also aim to host the video ourselves on the Lawyers for Nature website and share on our Discord.

The previous blog posts in this series looked at what it means to be ‘for nature’ and how we conceptualise society, covering social ecology and relational/holistic models of society and nature. Now, we in the final post in the series, we look at what this means for law.
When an idea is shown to have repeatedly failed, at what point are we allowed to ask for something different? By most popular environmental metrics, whether it be river water quality, biodiversity loss, urban tree cover, woodland diversity, air quality etc, the steady decline in the UK’s natural world is an indictment of existing approaches to the management and protection of the environment. Combine this with the increasing urgency of the global environmental crisis and it is easy to understand and even share in the growing frustration across the country. River Action. Just Stop Oil. Extinction Rebellion.
