We grow environmental leadership through education and advocacy work. We work for the biological and cultural diversity that sustain the environment.
Together with other environmental and animal welfare organizations, we join in educating the public about animal welfare and the environment. We lead campaigns against dolphin captivity and in enlightening the public about the cruelty of keeping intelligent animals such as dolphins and other marine mammals for human amusement.
We partner with communities in promoting grassroots environmentalism. We are always in solidarity with farmers, fisherfolk and indigenous peoples in defending environmental resources.
We are active in campaigns against the continued use and propagation of single-use plastics, marine pollution, and conversion of water resources to land use – such as the reclamation of Manila Bay. These greatly affect the country’s ecosystem.
In this spectrum of environmental issues, Earth Island Institute Asia-Pacific puts its focus on marine wildlife. And at the fore of this is our advocacy for protecting marine mammals and their habitat.

To date, there has been very little action in convening the management agencies and implementing the plans laid out by scientists to save the last remaining Irrawaddys of Negros. The dolphins continue to die on an average of one individual per year. Help us save the Irrawaddy dolphins in the Philippines by signing our petition.
