Schwarz Law believes in justice, equality, upholding human rights, and the preservation of the environment.
Via our membership of international advisory network IR Global , we are proud to partner with Treesistance by sponsoring and providing the financial support needed to form a new group of Indigenous Forest Guardians, who will defend their territories from illegal activity and are on the frontlines protecting the Amazon rainforest.
The new group of Forest Guardians will be equipped and trained by the end of 2023. Watch this space for further updates.
Treesistance’s mission is to transform attitudes towards climate action and inspire systemic change. The objective is to revolutionize how we interact with the natural world and approach environmental conservation. At the heart of its platform is an “access to justice” model based on the latest criminology research and crime science strategies in partnership with Indigenous leaders.
Their successful blueprint for stopping forest crime and deforestation in the Amazon has been peer-reviewed and featured in the latest UN module on Forest & Fauna (2021). This remarkable model is based on three pillars: the demarcation of territories and land rights claims, the creation of teams of Forest Guardians to protect their territories, and the development of trusted relationships with law enforcement to ensure prompt and effective action is taken.
