Our projects, publications, and initiatives support the biological and cultural divsersity that sustain the environment. Earth Island was founded by environmental visionary, David Brower [1912–2000], in 1982. Today, we are the organizational home to a diverse network of more than 50 issue-focused environmental education and advocacy projects.
The New Leaders Initiative (NLI) grows environmental leadership by raising the profile of young emerging environmental leaders in North America, celebrating their achievements, and providing them with the skills, resources, and relationships to lead effective campaigns and projects.
