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.
