“Friends of the Earth” is an organization that works to improve the environment; we try to persuade people in governments and elsewhere to protect nature. We also let people know what’s happening in the environment by producing brochures, books and magazines.

    “Friends of the Earth” fights for nature protection in many fields. These include the destruction of wild life habitat such as forests, river, seas, oceans and lands. We’re also concerned by pollution.

     In Britain, “Friends of the Earth” has over 200.000 supporters and 250 local groups. These groups fight all over the country for a better environment.

     If you are not already a member of “Friends of the Earth”, Why not join us now? Now, more than ever, the Earth needs all the friends it can get.
