FELAB

FELAB, an acronym for the Foundation for Environmental Law and Advocacy in Botswana, is a non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting environmental justice and sustainable development within Botswana. Established with the aim of bridging the gap between environmental law and its practical application, FELAB engages in a range of activities to achieve its objectives. The organization focuses on raising awareness about environmental issues, advocating for stronger environmental policies, and providing legal support to communities affected by environmental degradation.

FELAB's work often involves research into environmental challenges facing Botswana, including issues related to natural resource management, pollution, and the impact of development projects. They strive to inform the public and policymakers about these concerns through reports, workshops, and public campaigns. A key aspect of FELAB's mission is to empower citizens to understand their environmental rights and to participate effectively in environmental decision-making processes.

The foundation also plays a role in capacity building, offering training and resources to local communities and other civil society organizations. By fostering a greater understanding of environmental law and advocacy techniques, FELAB seeks to strengthen the collective voice for environmental protection in Botswana. Their efforts contribute to promoting accountability and ensuring that environmental considerations are integrated into national development planning and practice.
