Land Defenders, Water Protectors is the name of a new campaign by Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics. Organized and launched in partnership with Indigenous Peoples Rights International (IPRI) and The Blue Planet Project (BPP), this initiative aims to call attention to "Indigenous land defenders and water protectors from around the world, and Indigenous women and girls in particular on the front lines of the climate crisis."
The Land Defenders, Water Protectors campaign also includes the launch of a limited-edition Guardian of the Forest Bath Bomb. 100% of the purchase of this product will go toward supporting Indigenous communities who are resisting displacement and fighting to protect the land from the threat of "deforestation, fossil fuel extraction, privatization, and land and water grabs." The goal is to raise 350K.
