Our Mission
Pacific Environment protects the living environment of the Pacific Rim by promoting grassroots activism, strengthening communities and reforming international policies.
We put our mission into action by:
Supporting Local Environmental Struggles
We dedicate over one-third of our budget each year to funding grassroots organizations on the front-lines of the environmental movement.
Holding Banks and Corporations Accountable
We confront tax-payer funded banks that back oil, gas, mining and timber extraction and the companies that profit from these often environmentally-devastating projects.
Promoting Best Practices
We support and encourage sustainable fishing, renewable energy and other initiatives that put environmental protection and communities first.
Building a Global Movement
We forge coalitions and partnerships with environmentalists and other community members around the Pacific Rim—building a united movement to deal with the global threats we face.
Our Track Record
In the last two decades, Pacific Environment and our grassroots partners have:
-
Protected tens of millions of acres of wilderness;
-
Spearheaded efforts to protect endangered species like the Siberian Tiger, Amur leopard and Western Pacific Gray Whale;
-
Stopped the construction of environmentally-damaging oil pipelines, mines and dams; and
-
Forced international financial institutions to adopt higher environmental and social standards for their lending.
