Earth Liberation Front

The Earth Liberation Front (ELF) is an environmental activist group that originated in the 1990s. Members advocate for the protection of the environment through direct action, often involving sabotage against companies or organizations they view as harmful to nature. Their tactics have included arson and property destruction, aimed at stopping practices like deforestation and pollution. While ELF views these actions as necessary to combat environmental destruction, they have faced criticism for their methods, which some consider eco-terrorism. The group promotes a radical approach to environmentalism, emphasizing urgency in addressing ecological crises.
