Helping end environmental crime
People worldwide are attacked and killed for protecting forests from being logged. Human Rights Watch saves forests and protects their defenders. It sheds light on human rights abuses and pressures governments to enforce legislation and policies to stop these destructive practices. This is done through investigations, exposing abuses linked to deforestation, and campaigning for change.
Policy & Accountability
Initiatives in this pillar emphasise the role of local communities as part of the solution through championing science-backed policies, strategic litigation, and strong accountability mechanisms. Recognizing that the insights and experiences from affected communities are invaluable in crafting effective and just policies that not only protect the environment but also pave the way for a socially just transition.

Their B-lines program establishes wildflower-rich "insect superhighways" to restore pollinator populations in the UK. Partnering with various stakeholders, they offer advice and support for insect-friendly land management, involving farmers, local authorities, government agencies, NGOs, businesses, and individuals in their conservation efforts.
