About Us

Friends of the Earth Cymru was set up in 1984, 13 years after Friends of the Earth's foundation in the UK in 1971, to focus on campaigning in Wales on environmental issues. Friends of the Earth Cymru is dedicated to promoting the environment and promoting a sustainable future for Wales.

 

We are a small team based in Cardiff who are:

  • part of the UK's most influential environmental campaigning organisation
  • part of the most extensive environmental network in the world, with over 75 national organisations across five continents
  • supporting a unique network of campaigning local groups working in communities across Wales
  • dependent upon individuals for over 90 per cent of its income.
