Environmental Defense Fund

The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) is a leading environmental organization founded in 1967 by scientists and concerned citizens. Initially focused on the harmful effects of the pesticide DDT on wildlife, particularly the osprey, EDF's mission is to preserve natural systems through science and economics. The organization has evolved to emphasize collaboration with businesses and governments to address environmental challenges. EDF engages in advocacy and policy work, contributing to significant legislation like the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974. It conducts extensive research on issues such as climate change and air pollution, exemplified by the MethaneSAT project, which tracks global methane emissions. Through partnerships with businesses and government agencies, EDF develops sustainable practices and solutions, making it one of the most respected environmental organizations worldwide.
