Main aim of EALA is to help preserve the natural environment of Latin America and its flora and fauna and take legal and/or other action where nature is threatened or unduly adversely affected by commercial activities or governmental authorities.

EALA provides information about the current threats to the nature and environment in countries of Latin America. We name a few:

-  the uncontrolled development of coastal areas for tourism, 

-  surface gold and gravel mining projects, 

-  threats to sea turtles and their nesting beaches, the cruel killing of sharks, etc.

-  the expansion of pineapple plantations contaminating drinking water and affecting fauna,

- the expansion, at the cost of nature, of "green deserts" for plantations of african palm, soja and sugarcane, increasingly for biofuels, and for eucalyptus and pine plantations.
