Lawyers for Nature is primarily a volunteer-based organisation, however recently, we gratefully received funding which allows us to focus on our Rights of Nature and Nature-based Corporate Governance objectives. It’s a very exciting time for the organisation as we seek to progress these cutting-edge legal fields. It also means that we’re hiring for a Research Assistant with an interest in Lawyers for Nature, our mission, and this new fully-funded workstream.

Are you or someone you know interested in this role? Want to work with a progressive, inclusive and remote organisation that cares about real change in defence of the natural world. If the answer is yes, we want to know. Please check this job description, upload a CV and cover letter via this Google form, and a member of the LFN team will be in touch. You can also help in our search to find the right person for the role, by sharing our Twitter and LinkedIn posts, or simply share this page. Thank you!

I know that the urgent state of the climate crisis can seem too painful to fully contemplate. I’ve felt this for a while, and it comes in waves. Towards the end of last year we had the international climate conference of COP26, which gave some potential for progress.

LFN Researcher Alex May had a great time attending the Environmental Rights Centre for Scotland's Environmental Rights Summit yesterday. He delivered a workshop about what Rights of Nature are, developments around the world, and how we might advance them in the UK.
