2001–2002
Dear Friends of Earth Island,
We are pleased to present Earth Island Institute’s Annual Report for 2001. As
you look through it, you will see the financial highlights of the past year, and,
more importantly, the dramatic accomplishments of the projects of Earth
Island. Our model of incubating individual aspirations into successful projects
continues to have success in ways that we never imagined. Every day we are
mindful of the legacy of David Brower as we seek to inspire, educate, and
nurture action for the environment.
MISSION STATEMENT
Life on Earth is imperiled by human degradation of the biosphere. Earth Island Institute develops and supports projects
that counteract threats to the biological and cultural diversity
that sustain the environment. Through education and activism,
these projects promote the conservation, preservation, and
restoration of the Earth.
As we enter our twentieth year our future is more promising than ever. In 2002
one of our larger projects, Bluewater Network, will spin off into its own nonprofit organization. Among our exciting incoming projects is Eco-Village West,
which will provide environmental education for urban children on a beautiful
farm in Richmond, California. Amidst all the strides of our ongoing projects,
our World Sustainable Hearing project will go to South Africa in August to tell
people’s stories of globalization’s impact alongside the more formal UN
conference on environment and development. Meanwhile, Earth Island Journal
will undergo a strategic redesign this year aimed at increasing its effectiveness
in informing and mobilizing its readers.
The past year has shown us just how fractured the world community can be,
and how much the Earth truly needs our help. Thank you for all of your support during the past year. If you are new to our community, we welcome and
encourage you to look at our past accomplishments and join us in creating the
future. Your contributions enable us to reach for our dreams and leave us
poised to create a sustainable future for all of Earth’s communities.

PROJECT
DESCRIPTIONS
ONE OF EARTH ISLAND’S CENTRAL ELEMENTS is our Project Network. This
dynamic, worldwide group of approximately thirty issue-focused projects is
taking effective, innovative action for the conservation, preservation, and
restoration of the global environment.
In serving as sponsor and administrator for these projects, Earth Island
provides critical organizational support, offering to project staff the benefits of
working within an established organization as well as the freedom to focus on
the development and implementation of campaign initiatives rather than
administrative management. Considerable cross-pollination and collaboration
adds value to individual projects. Staff, interns, and volunteers all have the
opportunity to work with small, emerging projects while being part of one of the
most well-respected, internationally recognized environmental organizations.
Once adopted by the Earth Island Board of Directors, each project charts its
own program under the general supervision of Network Services staff. Projects
manage their own fundraising efforts with foundations and the general public.
We hope that the following section, which lists all Earth Island projects active
at the end of 2001, provides you with a sense of each project’s focus.

Chad Hanson, Director of our John Muir Project, during a
timber sale monitoring trip in the Tahoe National Forest. The
Forest Service proposes to clearcut this land, claiming that this
area was totally consumed by a fire and that no trees
remained alive. It is within a designated old growth forest
reserve and a California spotted owl Home Range Core Area.
The John Muir Project will be appealing this timber sale,
known as the Gap Fire salvage logging project.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
FROM 2001
BLUEWATER NETWORK co-sponsored
the opening of the nation’s first retail
biodiesel (vegetable fuel) station,
making this renewable fuel available
to diesel car and truck drivers for
both commercial use and individual
consumption. In connection with this
event Bluewater Network petitioned
US oil companies to give motorists a
genuine green fuel choice by investing in biodiesel.

ON NOVEMBER 14, 2001
we lost another giant in the
Earth Island Family, Anne
Brower. She died at the age of
88 in her Berkeley home after
a long illness. Many in the
Earth Island community may
not realize the important role
she had in our organization,
tirelessly working to support
and influence David’s work.
Anne and Dave met while the
two were editors at UC Press
working, as David later put it,
“in an office so small, we had
to get married.”
Not surprisingly, they
shared a love of good writing
and a knack for the well-

turned phrase. Anne’s diagnosis of the world’s biggest
environmental problem—
”greedlock”—and many
other “Browerisms” are properly attributed to Mrs. Brower.
Always well-read and
informed by her decades of
work in various UC departments, Anne frequently introduced David to new ideas
that fell outside the traditional boundaries of
American conservation.
These ideas, from Native
American cultures to city

planning, inevitably turned
up in the ever-expanding
work of David’s organizations. The name “Earth
Island” is in fact borrowed
from another piece of writing
Anne introduced to her
famous husband, Margaret
Mead’s “The Island Earth.”
The legacy of the Browers’
vision can be seen not only in
their environmental victories
such as preventing dam construction in Grand Canyon
and battling nuclear power to
a standstill, but in the many
individuals and projects they
nurtured that are now key
players in the movement for
Global CPR—Conservation,
Preservation, and Restoration.
Many successful organizations like Rainforest Action
Network, International Rivers
Network, and Urban Habitat
share common roots as graduates from the Earth Island
project network. Likewise,
many modern environmental
leaders, from Earth Island
Executive Director Dave
Phillips to world-renowned
energy conservation expert
Amory Lovins were recruited
to work for Global CPR by the
Brower vision.
The passing of the
Browers marks the end of an
era and begins the next
phase of Earth Island’s work
for the Earth. Today we
renew our commitment to
carry on David’s drive to find
and cultivate the next Lovins,
the next Phillips, and the next
Brower, and to master Anne’s
knack for finding solutions
that lie beyond the traditional horizons of environmental work. In following the
trail they blazed so brightly
in the last century, we can
only hope to be as eloquent,
effective, and compassionate
as David and Anne Brower.
May they rest in peace,
together as ever.
