Board of Directors
and Team

The Wild Law Institute is led by a community of dedicated legal professionals and activists who work to advance and protect the rights of every member of the Earth Community so that life can flourish for the benefit of all.

If we approach nature and the environment without this openness to awe and wonder, if we no longer speak the language of fraternity and beauty in our relationship with the world, our attitude will be that of masters, consumers, ruthless exploiters, unable to set limits on their immediate needs.

Pope Francis (Enyclical letter Laudato Si para 11).
