Dear Members, Do you remember where you were and when you first heard about Rainforest Action Network? Some of you just started supporting us in the last year or three. Others have enabled our work and shared some striking victories over the last 10, 15, and now 20 years. Was it from an information table at a rock concert, a piece in the paper, or from a friend? In the first 15 years I opened many of your letters and wrote back—a heartfelt thanks to all of you.

This annual report reviews our 20 year history and details our accomplishments over this recent stunning year. I hope you read it cover to cover and share in this special celebration issue. Our strategies and specific campaign targets evolve and change as we see ways to up the ante and take the calculated risks that we can get yet another transnational corporation to shoulder their responsibilities. Change as the campaigns should and must, our hearts and souls remain rooted in the glorious rainforest, the red howler

monkeys, the black leopards, the amazing forest dwelling tribes, and the life support systems of Mother Nature herself.

That said, the dark cloud of this recent political period hasn’t made our job—your cause—any easier. It is said that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. That is meaningful advice for our Board of Directors, this talented staff, and the illustrious Mike Brune who now directs this organization.

A quick tour through the years, we had a “beef” with Burger King over its purchase of rainforest beef. We stopped the World Bank from funding some giant dams in the Amazon. We pressured Home Depot to rid its shelves of old growth wood products. We pressured banks to stop funding the destructive and start funding the sustainable. We are on the backs of automakers to stop disrupting climate stability, something forests and people both depend on.

We hope you still see us as a good bet. We hope and pray

that the light at the end of this tunnel will grow yet brighter because we hang tough and work together. The rate of deforestation went down in the late 1980s. It is not on the rise again, but we aren’t done thinking and organizing. Those who are cavalier with the world’s rainforest had better face questions about whether the human species can carry on without the rainforest and all that it represents. Is it worth the gamble? With your continued support, that’s a gamble we won’t let any transnational profiteers take with the planet we all share.

Whether you’re a recent supporter, a 10-20 year supporter, or new to the organization; we must chart a path forward that embodies deep concern for nature and her forests. We must dissolve the dark clouds of antiquated business practices with some emerald light. At Rainforest Action Network, we pledge to work hard and work smart. Thank you for all that you invest in this collective mission.

From Randall Hayes FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT

PROTECT AN ACRE

Rainforest Action Network

established the Protect-an-Acre

program in 1993 as a tool to

protect the rights of forest

communities by providing

small grants to traditionally

under-funded organizations

and communities living

throughout some of the world’s

last endangered forests. The

program differs from traditional

buy-an-acre programs by

recognizing that indigenous

communities themselves are the

best proven stewards of fragile

forest ecosystems and possess

a unique knowledge of these

areas. From January of 2004

to June of 2005, Protect an

Acre distributed 26 grants for

a total of $96,650.

2003After three years of relentless campaigning, Boise releases “Boise and the Environment”, becoming the largest American forest products company to eliminate the logging and purchasing of wood and paper products from endangered forests.

After pressure from RAN activists worldwide, FleetBoston Financial transforms a Chilean logging company’s bankruptcy into permanent protection for close to 150,000 acres of endangered temperate rainforest.

2004RAN declares victory in the 4 year-long campaign to introduce environmental ethics to the private financial sector as Citigroup announces their “New Environmental Initiatives,” the most far-reaching set of environmental commitments of any bank in the world.

Bank of America announces its new climate and forest protection policies on the eve of a planned National Day of Action coordinated by RAN.

2005JP Morgan Chase releases a comprehensive environmental policy that takes significant steps forward on climate change, forest protection, and indigenous rights. The policy signals a tipping point toward environmentally ethical investing on Wall Street.

Dear Friends,

I am writing this letter on a Saturday morning in October, having just finished unpacking after returning from the Amazon a couple days earlier. While in Brazil, we learned about how the expansion of soy plantations, led by American-owned Cargill, is one of the most urgent threats to the Amazon, along with climatic shifts due to global warming, which is of course led in large part by America’s own Ford Motor Company. I am reminded once again how important it is for us all to continue to fight for transparency, justice, and sustainability.

Imagine, for a moment, that we lived in a country where business executives worked with the government and its citizens to try to actually solve some of society’s greatest challenges? Imagine that our government kept corporations in check, and worked with non-profits to help develop rules for the global economy that were designed to improve the lives of all people, not just a privileged few. Why does these ideas seem like such fantasies?

At Rainforest Action Network, we’re working to help companies and governments to

operate in an ethical manner; sometimes with a little encouragement, sometimes with a little pressure. We do this in multiple ways. Certainly, our commitment to protecting endangered forests and working with indigenous people is unwavering, even today as we pressure companies like Weyerhaeuser to stop destroying intact forests and indigenous communities in the Canadian boreal. Long-term threats to rainforests and the planet are addressed through our campaign to break America’s oil addiction. When Ford Motor Company accepts its responsibility to produce zero-emission cars, not only will pressure on forests be dramatically reduced, but the impact will be felt in our economy, our foreign policy, our health, and our national security. Finally, we’re working to rewire Wall Street with socially and environmentally ethical business standards. Creating a just and sustainable economy will not only protect forests and the rights of their inhabitants, but will protect the health of our planet and our economy.

The highlight reel of RAN’s first twenty years is a long

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

one: Burger King, Home Depot, Citigroup, and others; protecting the Great Bear Rainforest, tropical rainforests in Ecuador, Brazil, Indonesia; exposing the crimes of the WTO and the World Bank. These victories remind us what is possible when we not only dream of a better world, but campaign strategically to make that dream come closer to reality. They also show us that activism – simple engagement from concerned citizens – is what makes all the difference. In this country, it was the determined efforts of a small group of ordinary citizens, dare I say patriotic Americans, who helped create Yosemite National Park, secure for women the right to vote, ended slavery, and performed countless acts of everyday heroism. What will be our legacy? What could we really achieve if our society rose to the challenge and truly dedicated ourselves to ending our oil addiction? Protecting our last remaining wild forests? Treating all indigenous communities with honor and respect? We can do so much when we dream and work together. I hope you’ll continue to be a part of our family.

Campaigns In 2004 - 2005 Ending Destructive InvestmentRecognizing that our work to transform destructive global investment was just beginning, we turned our focus to challenging the rest of the financial sector to go even further. Within a year and a half, we convinced Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase to adopt progressive new policies to support endangered forest protection and outline specific ways to confront global climate change throughout its investment portfolio and business operations. To date, RAN has compelled the three largest banks in the world’s most influential financial enclave to publicly commit to improve their environmental performance, prompting what some on Wall Street are calling a tipping point in the sector.

2004JANUARY Citigroup releases its landmark policy that commits the world’s largest bank to take significant steps to protect endangered ecosystems and confront climate change. The next day, RAN issues an Earth Day deadline to “The Liquidators,” ten of the most environmentally destructive US-based financial institutions, to meet or beat new industry best practices set by Citigroup.

MAY Bank of America adopts landmark policies setting new industry best practices for forest protection, greenhouse gas reduction, and indigenous rights on the eve of a scheduled national day of demonstrations.

JULY Launched “Barbeque The Banks”, a summertime campaign turning the heat up on mega banks Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and John Hancock, that continue to fund global warming and forest destruction. Sidewalk barbeques are held in front of bank headquarters, where executives are ‘grilled’ on their lending practices.

NOVEMBER Launched an advertising campaign and web site targeting JP Morgan Chase’s investments of mass destruction as a first response to the megabank backtracking on its commitment to provide a policy to the environmental community.

DECEMBER Local elementary school students and parents deliver over 700 colorful handmade posters from children around the world to JP Morgan Chase CEO William B. Harrison, asking him to keep his promise and stop lending money to projects that destroy endangered forests and cause global warming.

NOVEMBER RAN is the recipient of the 2004 Triple Bottom Line Investing (TBLI) Award from Brooklyn Bridge, an international organization that promotes socially responsible investing. The award recognizes the work of Rainforest Action Network’s Global Finance Campaign to redirect the global economy away from socially and environmentally destructive investments and into just and sustainable alternatives.

2005APRIL - JUNE RAN and a global coalition including Pacific Environment, Greenpeace Russia, and Sakhalin Environment Watch target Credit Suisse First Boston for its role as financial advisor to Shell Oil’s Sakhalin-2 project, the largest proposed offshore oil and gas extraction operation in the world. The project is in clear violation of the Equator Principles, a set of environmental guidelines CSFB has adopted. The mega-project will also cause irreversible damage to the only known feeding ground of critically endangered gray whales.

APRIL Organized an International Day of Action against JP Morgan Chase and its recently acquired subsidiary, Bank One. Financial activists and Investments Inspectors visit more than 50 branches across the country searching for “Investments of Mass Destruction.”

On Earth Day, JPMorgan Chase responds to grassroots pressure by adopting a comprehensive environmental policy that sets new best practices in several critical areas including carbon mitigation and reduction, endangered forest protection and independently certified sustainable forestry as well as land and consultation rights of indigenous communities everywhere.

Old Growth CampaignENDING DESTRUCTIVE LOGGINGRainforest Action Network continued its work to transform the logging industry by targeting Weyerhaeuser, the number one destroyer of old growth forests in North America. While many high profile companies adopt environmentally ethical policies that ban the purchase of endangered old growth wood, Weyerhaeuser continues to log far beyond sustainable rates, promote single species tree farms, and apply chemicals at excessive and unnecessary levels. With timber operations in 44 states, Canada, and 18 other nations, Weyerhaeuser has aptly been dubbed the “cut and run cartel” for clearcutting irreplaceable forests one cut block at a time and leaving local logging and indigenous communities high and dry.

2004FEBRUARY Launched “Wake Up Weyerhaeuser” campaign by unfurling a 2,400 square foot banner from a construction crane in the logging giant’s hometown of Seattle, Washington.

AUGUST Challenged Weyerhaeuser customers by launching BuyGoodWood.com, an internet-initiative profiling Weyerhaeuser’s destructive logging practices. The web site launched as over 1,000 of Weyerhaeuser’s key customers including CostCo, Office World, Wal-Mart, Wendy’s, KFC and Trader Joe’s, receive a mailer inviting them to join the growing family of companies that have already adopted progressive purchasing policies to help protect endangered forests while encouraging them to sever business ties with Weyerhaeuser.

California-based grocery chain Trader Joe’s announces it will stop purchasing paper bags from logging giant Weyerhaeuser. RAN continues to pressure health foods stores Whole Foods and Wild Oats to stop pushing Weyerhaeuser paper bags on their customers.

SEPTEMBER Weyerhaeuser cancels its plans to log a watershed above the village of Pemberton, in British Columbia. RAN joined the community of Pemberton by generating over 1,500 letters opposing Weyerhaeuser’s plans to clearcut the town’s scenic hillside. Pemberton Mayor Elinor Warner extends a personal thanks to RAN supporters - “We are very appreciative of anybody who sent letters of support, thanks to all those who helped us achieve these positive results.”

OCTOBER Organized 500 participants for the “Tree of Life Celebration, “ a living sculpture and musical uprising bearing witness to one of thousands of Canadian clearcuts by U.S.-based logging giant Weyerhaeuser. It was the largest forest protection gathering in 12 years since the Clayoquot Sound Blockades and the largest ever in the Upper Walbran Valley of Vancouver Island.

DECEMBER FedEx Kinko’s, one of America’s first businesses to implement an ‘old growth free’ policy, introduces a new private-label sheet that substantially increases the recycled content of its standard behind-the-counter stock, the company’s highest consumption area.

2005FEBRUARY Produced “Wastelands,” a month-long photo exhibit in Seattle featuring larger-than-life images of forest destruction caused by Weyerhaeuser. The exhibit runs as creative coffee sleeve advertisements percolate throughout cafes in Seattle reading “Wake Up Weyerhaeuser.”

APRIL RAN leads a diverse coalition representing forest protection advocates, responsible investors, human rights activists, labor leaders, and First Nations communities in confronting Weyerhaeuser at their annual general meeting of shareholders.

Solidarity demonstrations take place at the New York and Toronto Stock Exchanges calling on Weyerhaeuser to end over a century of unsustainable logging and protect endangered forests. In Seattle, RAN joins representatives from the Haida Nation to

reveal the truth about the logging giant’s continued disrespect for their community in a press conference the day before the AGM.

CEO Steve Rogel makes a shameful attempt to silence shareholders from voicing their concerns inside the meeting and instead asks that comments be submitted exclusively in writing, a move that receives harsh backlash from business leaders, including an opinion piece in The New York Times. Rogel ultimately ends up apologizing publicly for disrespecting company shareholders.

MAY RAN’s work to expose destructive logging is honored by Architects/Designers/Planners for Social Responsibility (ADPSR), a sustainable building organization, with a 2005 Lewis Mumford Award in the category of the environment. The award recognizes RAN’s passionate and dedicated advocacy for forest protection and appropriate use of forest resources.

In response to an increase in greenwashing by the wood and paper products industry, the Don’t Buy SFI Coalition releases a full-page ad in the New York Times revealing the truth behind the wood and paper industry’s deceptive Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) label. The SFI label, developed to undermine the success of the independent environmental certification standard known as the Forest Stewardship Council, seeks to deceive consumers into purchasing products sourced from destructive logging around the globe. The ad runs as over 500 logging industry executives met in Vancouver, Canada for the 2005 Global Forest and Paper Summit.

Zero Emissions CampaignCLEANING UP CARMAKERSIn 2003, Rainforest Action Network and Global Exchange launched a campaign to jumpstart Ford Motor Company, the EPA’s worst-ranked automaker and #1 green house gas emitter of all the major automakers. In the last year, the Jumpstart Ford Campaign has taken the auto industry by storm, calling on Ford to chart a new course by immediately implementing fuel-saving technology and ultimately eliminating greenhouse gas emissions fleet-wide. Ford spends millions greening its image yet continues to push gas-guzzling SUVs and fight progressive new laws designed to curb global warming pollution. Ford’s negligence continues to endanger our environment, our economy, our health and our national security by keeping us addicted to oil. With oil and gas prices breaking new all-time highs; ancient glaciers around the world continuing to melt; childhood asthma reaching epidemic levels across the country; and both Americans and Iraqis dying everyday in a war for oil with no end in sight, it’s going to take an industrial strength intervention to break our oil addiction.

2004JANUARY RAN and Global Exchange draw international attention to Ford’s oil addiction by repelling down a 32-story skyscraper near the Los Angeles Auto Show and unfurling a 40-foot by 60-foot giant banner reading, “Ford: Holding America Hostage to Oil.”

JULY Exposed Ford Motor Company as America’s most oil-addicted automaker by highlighting Ford’s abysmal last place EPA fuel efficiency ranking for the fifth consecutive year.

Launched nation-wide on-line campaign calling on Americans to sign the Declaration of Independence from Oil and Demand Zero Emission Cars.

SEPTEMBER Forced Ford to scrap plans to crush the TH!NK all-electric, zero emission vehicles–the most fuel efficient cars in its oil addicted fleet–amidst a series of demonstrations in Oslo, Norway and San Francisco.

AUGUST Challenged America’s worst-ranked automaker to make a real commitment to increasing the fuel economy of its entire fleet as the first of Ford’s gasoline-electric hybrid SUVs rolls off the assembly line. Ford’s touting of a mere 20,000 Escapes account for less than one half of one percent of its 2005 model year production, and does nothing to improve their last place EPA ranking.

NOVEMBER Organized an international ‘Day of Intervention’ to force the EPA’s worst-ranked automaker to stop driving America’s oil addiction with activists protesting at Ford dealers across the United States and Canada.

DECEMBER Published a full-page open letter in The New York Times from Michael Brune, executive director of Rainforest Action Network, to Bill Ford, Jr., highlighting the automaker’s longstanding last place EPA fuel efficiency ranking, broken promises and greenwashing. Under the headline “Gas guzzling is un-American,” the letter called on Ford to reclaim its spirit of innovation and lead the United States to a future free from oil.

Ford and the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers file a Federal lawsuit to overturn California’s widely popular new vehicle emissions standards on the same day as the release of “Automaker Rankings 2004,” a new report from the Union of Concerned Scientists that ranks Ford as having “the absolute worst heat-trapping gas emissions performance of all the Big Six automakers.” California’s new regulations are the nation’s first-ever rules to reduce emissions linked to global warming and the most advanced automotive greenhouse gas reduction targets in the world.

2005JANUARY Following an 8-day vigil by RAN activists and dedicated electric vehicle drivers at a Sacramento Ford dealer, America’s most oil-addicted auto maker finally reversed its unpopular decision to repossess and destroy its last zero emission Ranger EVs. Ford’s abrupt u-turn followed public outcry that forced it to recant misleading statements about the legality, popularity and viability of EV technology. On day eight, Ford agreed to sell the all-electric Ranger pick-up trucks to loyal lesees for only $1.

FEBRUARY America’s first local chapters of Oil Addicts Anonymous are founded, culminating in a weekend-long “Come Clean Chicago” summit teaching activists from around the country the tools to help break our oil addiction.

APRIL The 2nd annual Fossil Fools Day is celebrated with over 100 North American Ford dealers in seven Canadian provinces and 43 states “Adopt-a-Dealer,” a program enlisting Ford dealers in the campaign, launches, with dealers in Santa Fe, NM, Sebastopol, CA and Greeley, CO taking up the cause of calling on America’s last-place automaker to improve fuel efficiency and eliminate tailpipe emissions.
