We believe all people have the right to live and work in a healthy environment and have made it our mission to safeguard environmental health. We do this by providing scientifically sound education and workforce development that build leadership, catalyze change, and are grounded in local knowledge.
We all rely on extractive industries. But we are not all directly affected by the dangers of those
industries. Every time we use a phone or computer, drive a car, or charge a device, we are using resources extracted from the earth. The extraction of these resources affects the most
vulnerable people in the world?s most vulnerable communities? at home and abroad.
TIFO supports local priorities: we help communities supportive of extractive industries to implement programs to make it safer, and we support communities opposed to mining to determine what happens on their lands.
