THE CAMPAIGN TO STOP GE TREES: IN 2017, GJEP COORDINATED A NATIONAL US CAMPAIGN TO SUBMIT COMMENTS TO THE US DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE REJECTING THE DEREGULATION OF GENETICALLY ENGINEERED (GE) EUCALYPTUS TREES. TOGETHER WITH OUR ALLIES, WE SUBMITTED COMMENTS SIGNED BY 284,000 PEOPLE. THIS EFFORT WAS COVERED IN MAJOR MEDIA OUTLETS INCLUDING THE HILL, POLITICO AND THE WASHINGTON POST, REACHING MILLIONS. WE FURTHER EXPOSED THE LINK BETWEEN INDUSTRIAL EUCALYPTUS TREE PLANTATIONS IN PORTUGAL WITH CLIMATE CHANGE-INDUCED DROUGHT AND HEATWAVES, AND THE COUNTRY'S WORST EVER WILDFIRES. WE ALSO JOINED WITH ALLIES IN CHILE TO ATTEND AND PROTEST THE INTERNATIONAL UNION OF FOREST RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS BI-ANNUAL TREE BIOTECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE IN CONCEPCION, CHILE. FOLLOWING ON THE HEELS OF THE COUNTRY'S WORST EVER WILDFIRES, AND PROMOTING THE PROLIFERATION OF TREE PLANTATIONS, THIS CONFERENCE OUTRAGED MANY IN CHILE. WE MADE SEVERAL VIDEO SHORTS ON THE DANGERS OF GE TREES, INCLUDING VIDEOS ON CHILE'S WILDFIRES, THE DANGERS OF GE AMERICAN CHESTNUT TREES AND OTHERS. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO NUMEROUS PRESS RELEASES THAT WERE PICKED UP IN NUMEROUS ONLINE MEDIA OUTLETS. WE FURTHER COORDINATE THE INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO STOP GENETICALLY ENGINEERED TREES MONTHLY CONFERENCE CALLS. IN MARCH 2018, FOUR MEMBERS OF THE CAMPAIGN TO STOP GE TREES PRESENTED BEFORE THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES OF SCIENCES, ENGINEERING AND MEDICINE FOR A STUDY BEING CONDUCTED ON THE USE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR FOREST HEALTH.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesApr 1, 2017 – Mar 31, 2018Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$135.1KProgram 2 [2018]
SOCIAL JUSTICE MEDIA PROGRAM: GJEP HAS CONTINUED OUR MEDIA CAMPAIGNS IN RELATION TO OUR ONGOING WORK FIGHTING FOR SOCIAL AND ECOLOGICAL JUSTICE, DRAWING ATTENTION TO ISSUES CONCERNING OUR CURRENT GLOBAL SOCIO-POLITICAL ATMOSPHERE.

BIOFUELWATCH PROGRAM: OVER THE PAST YEAR BFW CONTINUED MAJOR RESEARCH INTO THE "BIG PICTURE" OF BIOTECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENTS FOR BIOFUELS. THIS INCLUDED LOOKING ESPECIALLY AT THE ENGINEERING AND SYNTHESIS OF MICROBES AND ALGAE, AND AT THE STATUS OF INVESTMENT AND COMPANIES INVOLVED. THIS RESEARCH CULMINATED IN SEVERAL PRESS RELEASES AND THE RELEASE OF TWO REPORTS IN 2017. WE FURTHER SPOKE BEFORE THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES OF SCIENCES, ENGINEERING AND MEDICINE FOR A STUDY BEING CONDUCTED ON THE USE OF BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR FOREST HEALTH ABOUT THE DANGERS OF GE TREES; AND WROTE SIX REPORTS AND BRIEFINGS ON THE DANGERS OF WOOD-BASED BIOMASS, CLIMATE GEOENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIAL TIMBER PLANTATIONS. WE ALSO PARTICIPATED IN RULEMAKING ON GEOENGINEERING AND BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS AT THE ANNUAL UN CLIMATE SUMMIT. WE FURTHER PROVIDE TECHNICAL ADVICE AND SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT TO THE CAMPAIGN TO STOP GENETICALLY ENGINEERED TREES.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesApr 1, 2017 – Mar 31, 2018Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$112.4K
