Who we are, what we do and why we do the things that we do: these are the questions we set out to
answer in this, our 2009 annual report. Should I start by saying who I am? Thank you. I am Nnimmo Bassey, Chair of Friends of the Earth International, and it is my honor to welcome you to our 2009 annual report. We hope you will find it an inspiring and energizing read!
