Ecologists in Action

Ecologists in Action (Spanish: Ecologistas en Acción, sometimes Ecologistas en Acción-CODA) is a confederation of over 300 Spanish ecological groups, founded 9 December 1998.

Ecologists in Action is aligned with the philosophy of social ecology, which views environmental problems (and many other social problems) are having their origin in an ever more unsustainable and globalized model of production and consumption, a model that must be changed to resolve the ecological crisis. To that end, they conduct campaigns to publicize ecological problems, such as public denunciation of actions that damage the environment. They publish a magazine, El Ecologista and have an Internet presence as Proyecto EcoSpip.

History

Ecologists in Action was established in 1998 as a coalition of ecologically oriented groups, many of them already grouped under Aedenat (Asociación Ecologista de Defensa de la Naturaleza) or CODA (Coordinadora de Organizaciones de Defensa Ambiental), as well as other groups on the political left. The objective was to create a common organization with a single name, which would have a comparable public recognition to existing groups such as Greenpeace, World Wildlife Fund, Friends of the Earth or SEO/BirdLife. In the event, several large groups chose not to join; these included Grupo Ornitológico Balear in the Balearic Islands, Acció Ecologista - Agró in the Valencian Community and the majority of Catalan groups, already integrated into Ecologistes de Catalunya.
