The Environmental Defenders Office (NT) Inc. is a not-for-profit community legal centre operating in the Northern Territory which specialises in public interest environmental law.

Our objective is to empower the community to protect the natural and built environment through the law, recognising:

  • The importance of public participation in environmental decision making in achieving environmental protection
  • The importance of environmental law and policy frameworks which are sufficient to ensure sustainable development and environmental protection
  • The importance of indigenous involvement in protection of the environment
  • The importance of providing equitable access to EDO services across the NT

Our services include:

EDO NT is part of a national network of offices, known as the Australian Network of Environmental Defenders Offices (ANEDO). ANEDO has an active program of policy and law reform work, focussing on national environmental issues such as climate change and water management.

Public donations and support are important in enabling us to do the work we do. You can help support the EDO by a donation, becoming a Member of EDO NT or by volunteering.
