Bridgetown - Greenbushes Friends of the Forest (BGFF) was founded in 1987 and is located in the heart of the WA forest region.

FoE Brisbane

FoE Brisbane is based in West End. Its main campaigns are anti-nuclear and climate justice. Since it formed in 1997, Friends of the Earth Brisbane has initiated three 'sustainable' businesses - Reverse Garbage, the Bicycle Revolution and Eco-Geek, which have been established as independent, non-profit, worker-run cooperatives. These projects are part of FoE's long term funding strategy as well as our efforts to promote alternatives to an increasingly alienating and environmentally destructive economy. They are also based in the same building.

FoE Kuranda works regionally for sustainable local planning, social justice for local Indigenous people, improved water quality in our rivers and drinking water, better waste management and campaigns for the preservation of the unique wildlife and rich endemic plant biodiversity of Far North Queensland.

Meetings - 6.30pm last Monday of every month. Contact - sydney@foe.org.au. Website - www.sydney.foe.org.au

Friends of the Earth Australia includes activists and members living and working for a just and sustainable future across the entire Australian continent, from the south west of WA to Far North Queensland. We are a membership-based organisation, composed of a federation of local groups.

We meet collectively twice a year to develop policy and campaign plans. Our campaigns and projects have local, national and international relevance. Campaigns are based in one or more local groups ensuring that our political work remains relevant to local contexts and accountable to those activists working on the ground.

Local groups operate relatively autonomously, yet groups are bound together by FoE's guiding principles and our shared vision of a socially just and ecologically sustainable world.
