Ecodefense is self-defense.
Most wild places aren't lost in the field. They're lost on paper — in administrative proceedings that move faster than the communities they threaten can mobilize, in legal records that get built by default when no one shows up to contest them, in permits that pass review because the burden of proof was never placed on the agency.
We are present in those proceedings. We build the administrative record while the window is open. We make the analytical case the agency is legally required to respond to. This is not protest. It is participation in the actual process — on behalf of the beings whose interests are otherwise unrepresented.
If you have legal expertise in environmental or administrative law, knowledge of Cascadia's landscapes, experience in NEPA or CEQA, or the ability to write clearly about ecology and land use — we want to hear from you.
