EARTH ISLAND JOURNAL


Earth Island Journal Special Brower Tribute Issue
Since its debut in 1986, Earth Island Journal has exposed the abuses of the powerful and celebrated the power of individuals to make a difference for conservation, preservation, and restoration in a world increasingly controlled by transnational corporations and undemocratic institutions.

The Journal has won Alternative Media Awards for General Excellence, Best International Reporting, and Best Scientific and Environmental Reporting (two years in a row). The Journal has won more than a dozen Project Censored Awards, most recently for a cover story on "Space Cowboys" (which revealed plans to build a commercial spaceport in Nevada) and "Airports' Poison Circles" (an expose of the health impacts of airport pollution). Eight of the 2000 Project Censored news stories appeared in Earth Island Journal -- including the top story on "Bolivia's Water War." Two Journal contributors -- reporters Jane Akre and Steve Wilson -- won the 2001 Goldman Environmental Prize. In 2000 Journal stories were syndicated by the Los Angeles Times, reprinted in numerous foreign magazines and broadcast in radio interviews in the US, Canada, and Great Britain.

Journal circulation has increased some 140 percent since 1999. Approximately half of the 18,500 copies printed quarterly are distributed to newsstands (primarily in the San Francisco, New York, and Chicago areas) with the balance sent to Earth Island members. The increasing circulation has recently enabled the Journal to increase the number of full-time staff to three.


DAVID BROWER, MY ARCHDRUID (1912 - 2000)

by Mikhail Davis


Dave and Anne Brower at Point Lobos, California, 1983. ©Mark J. Palmer
David Brower is gone, but the Archdruid lives on. He is as alive today as when I first met him in the pages of John McPhee's conservation classic Encounters with the Archdruid in 11th grade. The historical figure whose boldness conquered the Bureau of Reclamation when it ruled the West and brought nuclear power to its knees can never really die. He lives on in anyone who hikes in wilderness then fights to protect it, floats the Grand Canyon and works to set the river free, and takes on the powers that be for the sake of the Earth. Anyone who takes bold action for the Earth and wildness can share a moment with the Archdruid.

But the moments I will savor and the times I will miss most are not with the Archdruid, but with my friend Dave, the kind, funny, generous old man I came to know and love working side by side with him in his final two and a half years. We had a joke that he was my adopted grandfather, but he was much more to me. In our time together, Dave became not only my oldest friend (he would appreciate the joke), but also my best friend.

I met Dave when I was 22 (and he 85.7 by his own reckoning), six years after my encounter with McPhee's Archdruid and 4 years after waiting in line to shake his hand after he spoke at Stanford my freshman year. In the spring of 1998, using everything short of black magic, I won the honor of succeeding Chris Franklin at Earth Island Institute as David's next assistant. I was still in shock when I made my way up to the fabled redwood house on Grizzly Peak in Berkeley for an improbable "get-to-know-you" session with the Archdruid himself.

Dave welcomed me as if we had known each other for years, and in a certain way I felt we had. My life as a precocious but confused 16-year-old in a small town had changed forever after reading about this real-life superhero and his quest to Save the Earth. From that time on, I knew that I would be doing "David's Work" for the rest of my life. I hadn't ever counted on taking it quite this far.

Dave always delighted in pointing out to people the advantages of working with someone 64 years his junior. Our recall abilities were complementary; he could remember things I couldn't, like World War II and rail service on the Bay Bridge, and I could remember things he had forgotten, like how to open his email or the name of "that ecologist from Harvard." One of his favorite tricks was making me answer questions from the audience that he couldn't hear; "Mikhail, if I had heard that question, what would I say?"


Dave's 88th birthday, July 1, 2000. ©Gordon T. Menzies
This was typical of Dave's generosity toward the young people he worked with; he gave us challenges no one else thought we could succeed at and his supreme confidence that we would. He was only half-joking when he would quip, "My secret is to surround myself with bright young people, then stand back and bask in their accomplishments." As he got older, Dave's work was more and more about inspiring confidence in others that they could create change. Several weeks before his death, he delighted in watching the video from our first annual Brower Youth Awards from his bed (all four hours of it, twice). The Awards honored six young leaders (ranging from ages 13-22) just like those who kept David going for so long after most people his age would have called it a career. As David commented before the Awards, "People allege that I've inspired many young people over the years, but I say it was just the opposite." But for me David's connection with young people went even deeper.

In the 1950s, while most of the nation was entering the era of mass consumerism and "keeping up with the Joneses," and while my parents were busy enjoying elementary school, Dave was out making sure there would be something left for me, an "untrammeled wildness," testifying "that this generation had love for the next," laying the groundwork for the Wilderness Preservation System and new National Parks from the North Cascades to Fire Island. Many in my generation have felt David's love, just as clear in the pristine waters of a wilderness lake as it was in his gentle smile and twinkling blue eyes. When Dave would apologize for being so slow or for my having to push him in a wheelchair through another endless airport terminal, I would smile, content with the knowledge that I was acting on behalf of countless others; I had the honor and privilege of representing my generation in service of a man to whom all subsequent generations owe a debt of gratitude. He fought for us before we were around to fight for, and I got to thank him for it.

So I never complained when I had to push his wheelchair.

Besides, Dave promised he'd come back around in time to push mine.

My most vivid memory from his final year is of Dave desperately straining to hoist his frail 87-year-old body up into a tiny Cessna airplane, already exhausted from a night of struggling to breathe in the thin Flagstaff air. Once again, he was unstoppable, and we flew to The Dam one last time to rally the believers and ensure that his dream would not pass with him.

That speech, which he called "Glen Canyon Dam and Global CPR (Conservation, Preservation, and Restoration)," was the Archdruid at his best, at once dire and self-effacing, visionary and funny: "...Jane Jacobs, who is close to my age and can thus be considered an elder, says that when ordinary people pay attention, they are often capable of more profound insights than the experts.

The opportunity here is to see how we can get ordinary people, us, to have time to pay attention to the immediate chance to restore the Earth that we face here, and to what the global implications will be if our insight beats the experts, if that is what it takes. Let me make it clear that I have nothing against experts. I wouldn't be alive without them. Now and then their insight is impaired. That's why God created ordinary people."

Now David Brower is gone, The Dam is not, and the challenge of administering "Global CPR" is left to "ordinary people" like you and me. Dave has earned his rest, and as we set out to summit the "insurmountable" opportunities he left to us, we know we do not make the long climb alone.

Once last time, David whispers in our collective ear: "Anything you can do, or dream you can, begin it.

Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it." (Goethe)

So be bold in your work for the Earth, take the dare, climb the insurmountable peaks of our time.

And have no fear.

The Archdruid is on belay.


EARTH ISLAND PROJECTS
2000 - 2001

A central element of Earth Island Institute is our Project Network. This dynamic, worldwide group of more than thirty issue-focused projects is taking effective, innovative action for the conservation, preservation, and restoration of the global environment.

In serving as sponsor and administrator for these projects, Earth Island provides critical organizational support, offering to project staff the benefits of working within an established organization as well as the freedom to focus on the development and implementation of campaign initiatives rather than administrative management. Considerable cross-pollination and collaboration among our projects adds value to the projects. Staff, interns, and volunteers all have the opportunity to work with small, emerging projects while being part of one of the most well-respected, internationally recognized environmental organizations.

Once adopted by the Earth Island Board of Directors, each project charts its own program under the general supervision of Network Services staff. Projects manage their own fundraising efforts with foundations and the general public. We hope that the following section serves to provide you with a glimpse into each project's focus, along with some of the highlights of the past year. For more detailed project information, visit the Earth Island Web site or contact the project director.

EARTH ISLAND PUBLIC SUPPORT 2000

Earth Island owes its many successes in the year 2000 not only to the hard work and dedication of our staff and volunteers, but to the generosity of the individuals, foundations, and corporations listed here as well. Those who give directly to Earth Island projects receive thanks and recognition from that project. We are grateful for their ongoing generosity, and would like to remind you that there are a number of ways in which you can help us with our work.

Earth Island accepts gifts in the form of donations, monthly gifts, appreciated securities, matching gifts, donor-advised funds, bequests, and memorial gifts. We also encourage people to give via our online donations page located at www.earthisland.org/join/join.html. Each of these forms of support allows you to save on taxes* while you help us to continue Dave Brower's work of Global CPR. And please remember that you can also help by volunteering your time, or by making an in-kind donation.
