Public interest lawyers from 10 countries founded ELAW in 1989. These lawyers were working together at a public interest law conference at the University of Oregon School of Law.

oneearth.org Omar Tello, now 64, planted a rainforest from scratch in Ecuador.    38 years ago he bought 7 hectares of land that had been completely cleared. Over time, he converted the pasture into a pristine forest. In the beginning, he spent each afternoon and evening removing the pasture grass with a machete, and then he planted trees and shrubs that he had brought from other parts of the forest that were being cut down. Early on, crickets would eat his baby trees, so one by one, he would get rid of them by hand. It took him 15 years to restore the soil. Then he began training others to do the same-- that resulted in formation of the nonprofit Humans for Abundance .
