Who we are

AELA is a not-for-profit organisation working to increase the understanding and practical implementation of Earth-centred (ecocentric) governance, with a focus on systems change across law, economics, education, ethics and community participation in Australia.

Our vision is an Australian society that embraces an ecocentric or ‘life-centred’ culture, with governance systems that enable human communities to thrive within ecological boundaries, while nurturing biodiversity and ecosystem health.

Our programs provide a range of services and support for people, communities and organisations working to create ecocentric systems change.

What we do

AELA provides information, advice and tools that can help people take action to build Earth-centred systems change - visit our information below and get in touch anytime!

Our Programs

Our programs work within, and across, different sectors so that we can catalyse new systems thinking that will lead to the transformation of Australia's governance systems.
