The Environmental Defense Council (EDC) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Cárdenas, Nouvelle Alexandrie. Founded in 1708 AN, the EDC is dedicated to advocating for the protection of the environment and promoting sustainable practices throughout Nouvelle Alexandrie and abroad. The organization works through a combination of advocacy, education, and direct action to preserve natural habitats, protect wildlife, and ensure a healthy environment for future generations. The organization also maintains close ties with similar organizations in foreign nations around Micras, in order to coordinate joint projects and advance common interests and projects.
History
The Environmental Defense Council was founded in 1708 AN by Maria Elena Torres, a passionate environmentalist and community leader from Punta Santiago, Alduria. The organization was established in response to growing concerns about environmental degradation and the need for a coordinated effort to address these issues at a national level. Initially focused on raising awareness about local environmental problems, the EDC quickly expanded its scope to include national campaigns and initiatives. Over the years, the organization has played a crucial role in advocating for environmental policies internationally, promoting sustainable practices and engaging communities in conservation efforts in Nouvelle Alexandrie and in Constancia, in particular with the Green Constancian Corridor.
Partnerships
The Environmental Defense Council collaborates with a wide range of partners, including government agencies, other non-governmental organizations, academic institutions such as the Royal University of Parap and the University of Lausanne, and community groups. These partnerships are essential for leveraging resources, sharing expertise, and achieving common goals in environmental protection and sustainability.
