Terragraphics International Foundation (TIFO) believes all people have the right to live and work in a healthy environment and have made it our mission to safeguard environmental health.

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 use 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. Every day, people in these communities face unsafe food and water, insecure housing, and a choice between health and earning a day's wage. That?s unjust.

TIFO supports local priorities: we help communities supportive of extractive industries to implement programs to make it safer, and we support communities opposed to extractive industries to determine what happens on their lands.
