Abstract
There are many different environmentalisms and this is evident in differences between the major environmental movement organizations (EMOs). For example, Greenpeace International (GPI) and World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) have traditionally focused on the more eco-centric concerns of non-human nature and wilderness areas. In contrast, ‘FoE’s remit was always relatively anthropocentric, and today it is unabashedly and uncompromisingly anthropocentric’ (Rootes 2005: 19). There are also other ways, however, to differentiate Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) from the other large EMOs as well as to help us understand differences in environmentalisms across the FoEI federation. For the purposes of this work, we consider three classifications:
-
1.
The North-South
-
2.
The Right-Left
-
3.
