LEEP is a public charity formed under the auspices and directed by representatives of grassroots nonprofit nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan). LEEP's goals are to improve existing environmental and nonprofit legislation, policies, and enforcement in Central Asia, develop conservation projects, provide information to local NGOs, and encourage Western support for civil society in Central Asia. LEEP has offices in Kazakhstan, the United States, and Uzbekistan. LEEP publishes a monthly journal, Ecostan News, in Russian and English, and a bimonthly bulletin of international environmental law in Central Asia, Central Asia Compliance Monitor, in English.
LEEP urgently needs donations in order to support local NGOs, support its outreach efforts, and initiate public interest lawsuits and intercessions in Central Asia.Please send your tax-deductible donations to 219 North Ave., Weston, MA 02193, or contact esievers@ecostan.org.
