Projects
Earth Island Institute serves as an incubator for start-up environmental groups. Some projects will stay with Earth Island Institute for the full life of their organization, while others spin off and become independent 501(c)(3) organizations. Currently, Earth Island has more than 40 projects under sponsorship. What follows is a list of current projects followed by a partial list of organizations that started as Earth Island projects and left to start independent groups.
