- Central Valley Air Quality Coalition
The second-most polluted air in the country (after Los Angeles) hovers over (not Houston, not Denver) California's San Joaquin Valley. One reason: big ag and big oil have been allowed to ignore the Clean Air Act. Now, residents are fighting back.
- The Conservation System Alliance
The Conservation System Alliance aims to protect the 26-million acre National Landscape Conservation System by making it permanent, well-funded, well-planned, and inclusive of the Bureau of Land Management's very best lands and waters.

- Stop Mountaintop Removal
Thousands of acres and hundreds of miles of streams and rivers are being permanently demolished while state and federal governments look the other way. The culture and history of Appalachia is disappearing with each mountaintop that is blown away. Mountaintop removal mining is the worst environmental disaster our country has ever known, and it's time this destructive mining practice ends!
Our Work
Campaigns
Earthjustice initiates strategic campaigns to address the most urgent threats to our environment. In this section you will find descriptions of Earthjustice's current campaigns, including information about our coalition efforts.
Stop Mountaintop Removal
Earthjustice is continuing the fight to stop mountaintop removal mining -- all the way to the Supreme Court.
Restore Stream Flow
Water in Hawai'i is a public trust resource -- wasteful water diversions must be stopped and the streams of Maui restored
Safe Farms, Healthy People
When chemical pesticides were first introduced in the 1940s for large scale industrial use, people hailed them as modern miracles of agriculture. Fast, effective, and easy to use, pesticides were able to wipe out unwanted pests at the slightest sign of an outbreak. These miracles, however, exacted a deadly price. The same toxicity that proved lethal to insects is also poisoning children, farmworkers, and wildlife. Earthjustice has mounted aggressive legal campaigns to protect people and the environment from pesticides and promote healthy, sustainable farms.
Cleaning Up Mercury, Protecting Our Health
Cement kilns, power plants, incinerators: they're poisoning our lakes and rivers with mercury pollution. Mercury can cause birth defects, infertility and other health problems, particularly for women and children. See what we're doing to clean them up and what you can do to help.
Wolves in Danger
The wolf's amazing comeback in the northern Rockies is one of our country's greatest wildlife success stories. But it may be dangerously short-lived now that the federal government has issued a rule that permits wolf killing in the northern Rockies. This heralds the beginning of a larger plan to remove the animals from the Endangered Species List and allow large-scale slaughters of more than 80% of the wolf population.
Protecting Our Sierra Nevada
Our campaign to protect the last remaining old-growth trees and imperiled wildife in the National Forests of California
GMO-Biopharm Watch
Some bad ideas should never take root. Secretly growing food crops that are genetically engineered without public oversight is a bad idea, no matter how you look at it.
The Roadless Area Conservation Rule
In late May, 2009, the Obama administratiion announced that it will observe a "time out" with respect to road building and logging on roadless areas of the national parks, as urged by the conservation community. As a candidate, Senator Obama had pledged to protect roadless areas, and as president he has made good on that pledge. We now have a chance to preserve nearly 60 million acres of wild lands for future generations.
Black Carbon
A tiny soot particle is part of a really big problem....
The Northwest Forest Plan
Since 1994, the Northwest Forest Plan has protected 24 million acres of public land from relentless clearcut logging practices. The Bush administration worked to systematically weaken this management framework but failed because their approach skirted the law.
Protecting Farmworkers From Toxic Pesticides
Dangerous pesticides linked to cancer, birth defects, and other adverse health effects threaten the health of millions of farmworkers across the United States. These poisons disproportionately threaten the health of migrant and seasonal farmworkers.
