Lawyer for environmental and climate law
Brussel,
Belgium
About us
Dryade uses the power of the law to defend the interests of both nature and humanity.
The nature has no voice. It cannot advocate for its interests. This also applies to future generations. Yet, their interests are being violated by climate change, loss of biodiversity, and pollution.
Those who protect nature also care for humanity, and vice versa. A healthy living environment for ourselves, our children, and grandchildren is one in which nature also thrives. If we succeed in reconciling nature and the economy, everyone wins.
