Tanzania 2000

Forty-five grassroots advocates from 27 countries participated in this year’s E-LAW Annual Meeting (July 26-28), hosted by the Lawyers’ Environmental Action Team in Arusha, Tanzania.

E-LAW advocates participated in work sessions on reducing air and water pollution, controlling toxic pesticides, increasing public participation in environmental decision making, and gaining access to environmental justice. They bolstered their electronic communication skills, learned about raising funds for their organizations and built the human connections that make the E-LAW network strong.

E-LAW U.S. thanks the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation for its support of this important gathering.
