Earth Island Institute

Earth Island Institute was founded in 1982 by legendary environmentalist David R. Brower. Since then, Earth Island Institute has been a hub for grassroots campaigns dedicated to conserving, preserving, and restoring the ecosystems on which their civilization depends. Their model for assisting campaigns addresses one of the environmental movement’s historical barriers to success — that large…More non-profit organizations typically set their agendas far in advance, and thus are slow to respond to urgent, emerging issues. Creating new organizations for each campaign is impractical, because the time and effort detracts from achieving immediate goals.
