Earth Liberation Front (ELF)

The Earth Liberation Front (ELF) is an environmental activist group known for its radical approach to fighting against ecological destruction. Founded in the 1990s, ELF engages in direct action, including arson and sabotage, primarily targeting businesses and organizations deemed harmful to the environment. The group operates underground and emphasizes its commitment to environmental protection, arguing that their actions are a response to inaction on climate and ecological issues. While supporters see them as eco-warriors, critics label their methods as eco-terrorism, raising significant legal and ethical debates about environmental activism.
