Living Earth Foundation (LEF) was established as an international not-for-profit organisation in 1987, specialising in working with people to resolve their environmental and social concerns. LEF is a UK registered charity which has established a unique portfolio of projects and set new standards of working in education, environment and community development.

Living Earth has developed an international remit because LEF believes that many of the challenges society now faces are of a global nature and will be most effectively addressed through understanding different views and perspectives, sharing ideas across cultures and learning from each other to develop a locally appropriate response. LEF is currently running programmes in seven countries, working in diverse localities from the Niger Delta, Cameroon, Uganda through to Alaska. Living Earth Foundation is at the heart of a growing network of Living Earth organizations around the world that work in a cooperative and supportive way to maximize their impact.
