 “Atlanta is one of the world’s most multi-cultural and international cities, with a vibrant community of conservation and justice advocates. It is no surprise that our message resounded so strongly.” 

This event was the first in a series of upcoming US-based engagements for Conservation-Litigation.org. Following formal incorporation into an independent not-for-profit foundation based in the Netherlands, the organisation is now building new networks and partnerships across the US, with upcoming visits to New York City (May 2026), Dallas (Aug. 2026) and New Orleans (Aug. 2026).
