http://www.animalliberation.net/doa/ Animal Liberation Front
"Diary Of Actions" Quote from site: "Every single night,
the women and men of the Animal Liberation Front carry out direct
action to stop animal cruelty at its sources, somewhere in the
world. England and the United States see thousands of attacks a year
and A.L.F. cells are active across the industrialized world. Whether
it's the Black Ravens in Russia, the Wild Minks in Sweden, Animal
Rescue in Japan, or the A.L.F. in New Zealand, Canada, Israel,
Poland, Italy, Slovakia, etc., the goal is the same: to liberate the
suffering and destroy the property of those who kill for profit. We
need action reports from everywhere but especially European
Countries. If you hear of any action (old or new) in your country,
why not write us a note and give us any details you can? Don't
assume that we will hear about it from someone else. Countries
presently targets for direct actions: AOTEAROA AUSTRALIA AUSTRIA
BELGIUM BRAZIL CANADA DENMARK FINLAND FRANCE GERMANY GREECE IRELAND
ITALY JAPAN NETHERLANDS NORWAY POLAND SLOVAKIA SPAIN SOUTH AFRICA
SWEDEN SWITZERLAND UNITED KINGDOM USA"

Reporting Actions, Information Sources and Verification: Reporting
Actions: Our archive represents only a fraction of the actual
actions, as most go unreported. Please let us know if you have heard
of any action not listed here. We need action reports from
everywhere but especially European Countries. If you hear of any
action (old or new) in your country, why not write us a note and
give us any details you can? Don't assume that we will hear about it
from someone else. When sending communiques, send multiple copies to
one (or preferably several) of the supporters groups listed in the
support section in order to make sure at least one gets delivered.
Assume that ALL mail to any supporters group (or other animal rights
group) is opened, read, copied, and fingerprinted by law enforcement
agencies. Make sure you send letters SECURELY! If sending email read
up on Internet & Computer Security. Be careful to NOT have
anything on or in it that will incriminate you or others.
Information Sources & Verification: Sources of information are
extensive and include; A.L.F. supporters groups, A.L.F. press
offices, animal rights group newsletters, and mainstream news
sources - newspapers, magazines, television, web sites, wire
services, etc. Our Diary of Action lists are never complete. There
are thousands of actions every year around the world and we only
hear about a fraction of them. All actions are verified to the best
of our capabilities.

2001 Year-End Direct Action Report Released by A.L.F. Press Office
Jan. 16, 2002 – The North American A.L.F. Press Office has just
released its Year-End Report for 2001. The 46-page report contains
the complete lists of all known illegal direct actions taken for
animal liberation, as well as for earth liberation, and those taken
against genetically modified organisms (GMO) research and genetic
engineering (GE) in the past year. The Report includes a complete
statistical and geographical breakdown of last year's direct
actions, an analysis of target categories and major actions, as well
as comments on the future of illegal direct action post-Sept., and
into 2002. A hard copy can be purchased for $10 from the A.L.F.
Press Office at the address below. The following information
represents some of the totals for the year of 2001 from actions
taken on the frontlines for animal liberation. Please remember that
this list is far from complete; it simply represents the actions
known by the ALF Press Office. Numerous actions, especially those
where only minor property destruction occurred, typically are never
reported nor claimed by anyone. There was a total of 137 illegal
direct actions in North America in 2001; 72 of those were for animal
liberation, 51 for earth liberation, and 14 against GMO/GE. The
A.L.F. took credit for 35 of those actions, the E.L.F. took credit
for 29, and 3 were jointly claimed by both groups. The following
targets were hit by animal liberation activists in 2001: 10 fur
stores 8 Stephens Inc. targets 7 Bank of New York offices or
facilities 5 research labs 2 Bank of America offices or facilities 4
animal breeders 4 meat stores 3 fur farms 3 McDonalds 3 Dairy Queen
3 Burger King 3 factory farms 2 HLS targets 2 Pizza Hut 1 KFC 1
Wendy's 1 hunting store 1 pet store 1 wild horse facility 1 circus

Funders Network on Trade and Globalization (FNTG) The mission of the
Funders Network on Trade and Globalization is to support foundations
and other members of the funding community in their efforts to
promote global relations, policies and institutions that foster
environmentally sustainable, human-centered and just economic
development in the US and around the world. FNTG emerged out of a
series of briefings organized by the Environmental Grantmakers
Association and the Consultative Group on Biodiversity in Seattle
during the 3rd Ministerial Meetings of the World Trade Organization
towards the end of 1999. Over 40 funders attended these briefings
and civil society-led events during those dramatic days, and a
decision was made soon after to launch a new network devoted to
trade and broader globalization issues. FNTG is for grantmakers who
care about human rights, democracy, peace, social justice, and
environmental sustainability. The starting point for FNTG is that
globalization matters to these issues. While each of our
perspectives on globalization may differ, as grantmakers, we share a
common commitment to a more just and sustainable society. As a
consequence, globalization and its impacts-good and bad-matter to
all of us. Globalization, a central phenomenon of our time, deserves
our attention. FNTG has emerged out of concerns that the full
implications of globalization are neither sufficiently understood
nor adequately addressed by foundations and other members of the
funding community. The network's goals are to: 1. Raise awareness of
the relevance of international trade and other globalization issues
to the funding community; 2. Identify information needs of funders,
focus on emerging global issues and promote potential funding
opportunities and alliances in ways that help increase the strategic
impact of grantmaking; and 3. Increase financial resources devoted
to environmentally sustainable, human-centered and just economic
development worldwide.

"Water Conflict Prevention" In their own words lies the
intent: Green Cross works to prevent conflicts in water-stressed
regions. We promote informed and participatory decision-making,
regional cooperation and the integrated management of land and water
resources at the basin level. Green Cross contributes to the
prevention and resolution of actual and potential conflicts by
convening people representing all sectors of affected communities to
shape solutions together. We aim to actively avoid and mitigate
conflicts in water-stressed regions by encouraging the participatory
integrated management of basins at the local, national and
international levels. Green Cross promotes the need for
international mediation to prevent and resolve water related
conflicts, the need for an international fund for water, to be used
particularly in times of emergency, and the recognition that a basic
entitlement to safe water is a universal human right. Current
activities include our integrated Water Emergency Plan for the
Middle East, the Fight Against Desertification in Burkina Faso and
Cote d'Ivoire, a drinking water project in Swaziland, mediation
between communities effected by large dams in Argentina and
Paraguay, and active involvement in the World Water Council, Global
Water Partnership and Gender and Water Alliance. Green Cross
International was a major contributor to the World Water Vision for
the 21st Century and 2nd World Water Forum in the Hague in March
2000, and is active and committed to the continuing "Framework
for Action" process. Regional projects are already being
developed in West and Southern Africa, South America and Eastern
Europe.

website: Welcome to the website for the National Public Lands
Grazing Campaign, a multi-year, multi-organization strategy to end
abusive livestock grazing on the nation's public lands. Public lands
livestock grazing is ecologically damaging, economically irrational,
and fiscally imprudent. Conservationists and public lands grazing
permittees/lessees could argue forever on these issues and never
reach consensus. Or we could work together to lobby Congress to
establish a voluntary federal grazing permit buyout program. NPLGC
advocates legislation to pay grazing permittees/lessees $175 per
animal unit month to voluntarily retire their permit or lease and
end grazing on the associated allotment permanently. This
legislation would provide grazing permittees/lessees with another
option for their permit or lease, while relieving public lands from
continued livestock grazing wherever the buyout option is exercised.

(no kidding!) In their own words: Everybody, men, women and children
must help manage and share water fairly. Conflicts over
"troubled water" -- sometimes too much, too little or too
polluted -- must be avoided. They harm people, food production,
nature and the environment. Research and practical experience from
the Gender and Water Alliance (GWA) have demonstrated that
effective, efficient and equitable water resources management is
only achieved when both women and men are involved in integrated
water resource management.
