2008 Victory for the Polar Bear!

We’ve all seen the pictures: polar bears struggling to survive as their icy habitat melts around them. This year, NRDC and other environmental groups helped take the first step to pull the polar bear back from the brink of extinction. After a three-year legal battle, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agreed to list the polar bear as a federally “threatened” species. Polar bears live only in the Arctic and are totally dependent on sea ice for their essential needs. Global warming is leading to polar bear starvation, drowning, and population declines as the sea ice melts away. The U.S. Geological Survey predicted that without strong protections, two-thirds of the world’s polar bear populations would likely be extinct by 2050, including all polar bears within the United States. NRDC’s lawyers, advocates, and members and activists refused to let the polar bear die. Our legal team took to the courtroom to prove that global warming was putting the polar bear at risk. And our members and online activists sent a Polar Bear SOS, letting their representatives know that they care about polar bear protection. But our fight is not over. While the new listing was a step forward, it was also riddledwith loopholes for oil companies and other global warming polluters. In response, NRDC has filed another lawsuit to strengthen federal protections for the polar bear. We’re also fighting lawsuits by the oil and gas industry and the State of Alaska to entirely strip polar bears of their protections.

From the Chairman of the Board

he week after the presidential election last fall, I had the opportunity to attend NRDC’s staff retreat. The sense of possibility running through the air was invigorating. After eight years of battling to protect the Earth from the Bush onslaught, we reveled in the idea that environmental protection would once again hold a place of honor in Washington. T But what was most gratifying to me personally was when I got to speak to the entire NRDC staff. As I stood before 380 of the most talented advocates in the field, I was awed by the collective power of this institution. There gathered in one room were the strategists who brought global warming legislation to the Senate floor for the first time ever, the masterminds who figured out how to make energy efficiency just as profitable for utilities as building dirty power plants, and the negotiators who banned destructive fishing practices across the entire South Pacific. This is an electrifying time to be part of the most influential environmental organization in the nation. Yes, America is facing monumental challenges, the economic crisis first among them. But it is precisely in this moment that America needs bold solutions. And what has always drawn me to NRDC is that it devises solutions to the Earth’s biggest problems, then works harder than anyone else to put them in place. As Google CEO Eric Schmidt says, “This is the organization that gets stuff done.” Now more than ever, we can and must get things done. Even with a new administration, it will take expertise to get the details of climate legislation right; it will take influence in each state to get the swing votes, and it will take savvy communications and passionate citizen activists to counter the multimillion-dollar campaigns of the fossil fuel industry. NRDC has the skills the times demand. We are midway into our Partnership for the Earth Campaign, the most ambitious and important endeavor in NRDC’s history, and thanks to the generous support of our donors, we have further strengthened our scientific, legislative, and litigation muscle. As the pages in this report attest, we have achieved stunning results with that strength. We are ready to seize the moment. NRDC has already developed state-based programs ranging from solving suburban sprawl to enhancing renewable energy and preserving our special wild places. We have found ways for major corporations to reduce toxic chemicals in their products and supplier factories, and now with your continued support, NRDC will enact those solutions for the benefit of the entire world and for generations to come.

From the President and the Executive Director

t is with great pleasure that we write this letter at the dawn of a new era, one mixed equally with challenge and opportunity. America is gripped by the worst economic crisis in decades, and yet President Barack Obama recognizes that the path to economic stability must be built upon green solutions. Obama is entering office with a commitment to restore environmental governance Iand the integrity of science. Most important, he has pledged to enact a visionary energy policy that tackles our economic, oil, and climate crises all at the same time. He realizes that investing in clean energy—wind and solar power, energy efficiency, mass transit, and smarter electricity grids—is the fast track on America’s road to prosperity. America is ready for this kind of bold leadership, and just as NRDC was more than a match for the Bush agenda, we are ready with the forward-looking solutions America needs right now. NRDC’s policy experts—the same ones who last year moved groundbreaking global warming legislation into the Senate—are already working with lawmakers to hammer out a new climate bill that will cap global warming pollution and annually generate billions of dollars of clean energy capital. Our economists have analyzed the potential for green-collar job creation in several states. And our land and wildlife specialists are mapping out which landscapes offer potential for renewable power and which must remain off limits to energy development. Even with the solutions in hand, the road ahead will be difficult. We cannot undo eight years of environmental damage overnight. And we must not underestimate the severity of the economic downturn. But NRDC has prevailed in the face of formidable odds before, from back when we became the first law firm to hold polluters accountable to the many times we fought federal and state agencies on behalf of America’s wildlife and won. What is so exciting about this moment in time is that we have the chance not just to beat back destructive forces, but to actually propel America forward. With the extraordinary talent of our staff and the passionate support of our members, we can realize the promise of a cleaner, more sustainable future. Starting today.

curbing global warming & creating the clean energy future

NRDC packed the steps of the Capitol for a news conference featuring NRDC President Frances Beinecke, Senators John Kerry and Joe Lieberman, and others promoting green jobs and clean energy.

It was our experts, for instance, who wrote the state Hard-Nosed Economic Analysis: Shaping efficiency standards for buildings Legislation and Investment.

Going forward, NRDC will work to broaden these incentives as part of a national clean energy investment program. With the right tax credits in place, the renewable market will expand, costs for solar and wind power will drop, and consumers will watch their utility bills fall.

reviving the world’s oceans

elow the surface of the ocean is a world of sound. In the dark of Defending the deep sea, many of the ocean’s inhabitants rely on sound to find food and mates, care for their Marine Byoung, and avoid predators. But high-intensity military sonar is being used throughout the world’s oceans in a way that needlessly Mammals threatens whales and other marine mammals. from For more than a decade, NRDC has been at the forefront of efforts to protect marine life from dangerous sonar, including repeated success in enforcing our federal environmental laws. Deadly In 2008 we continued our fight for common sense safeguards—all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Sonar In the 1990s, NRDC attorneys first uncovered classified research about underwater sonar activities being conducted by the U.S. Navy without any regard for their environmental impacts—or our environmental laws. Since then, military sonar has been linked to hundreds of whale strandings and deaths around the world, from North Carolina to the Bahamas, Greece, and Japan. While the precise mechanism of injury and death is uncertain—whether through direct injury to sensitive tissues, loss of orientation that results in beaching, or panic that leads to rapid surfacing and fatal decompression sickness (similar to the bends)—the threat to marine life is tragically well documented. By the Navy’s own accounting, its sonar exercises from January 2007 to January 2009 off the coast of Southern California would significantly disturb or injure 170,000 marine mammals, including causing permanent injury to more than 450 whales and temporary hearing impairment in at least 8,000 others. In our latest court challenge to the illegal use of this dangerous technology, we demanded that the Navy take common sense measures to protect marine mammals, such as putting their richest habitat off limits, avoiding migration routes and feeding or breeding areas when they are present, and listening with passive sonar to ensure they are not in the testing area before switching on active sonar. These safeguards, we argued, would reduce the risk of avoidable injury and death to marine mammals while allowing the Navy to test and train.

The Proven Danger of Sonar Exercises in Sensitive Habitats Evidence of sonar’s dangers surfaced in 2000, when whales of four different species stranded themselves on beaches in the Bahamas after a U.S. Navy battle group used mid-frequency active sonar in the area. Although the Navy initially denied responsibility, the government’s investigation established that sonar had caused the strandings. After the incident, the area’s population of Cuvier’s beaked whales nearly disappeared, leading researchers to conclude that they had either abandoned their habitat or died at sea. nrdc 2008 Annual Report Page 11

Our decade-long battle to protect whales reached a key milestone in November, when our lawyers went before the U.S. Supreme Court to argue that the safeguards won by NRDC from the federal court in Los Angeles and affirmed on appeal should be maintained throughout the Navy’s Southern California training exercises. Although in a 5-4 decision the Supreme Court overturned two of the six required protective measures, two-thirds of the safeguards were upheld and remain in effect. In this case and others, NRDC’s aggressive and creative legal advocacy—aided by hundreds of thousands of messages from our members and activists—continues to break new ground in battles here and around the world to protect marine mammals from the serious—and avoidable—threat of Senior attorney Joel Reynolds, who leads NRDC’s sonar litigation team, spoke to reporters on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court. dangerous man-made noise pollution in our oceans.

stemming the tide of toxic chemicals

Not for Sale NRDC spearheads the removal of hundreds of tons of toxic mercury from unsafe global trade

ive years ago, NRDC’s health team launched an ambitious international campaign to reduce global mercury pollution. In 2008,F our hard work paid off with the passage of federal legislation that prohibits the sale of this toxic metal into global commerce. Combined with a similar policy we helped pass in the European Union, this major victory will remove one-third of the world’s toxic mercury supply from circulation.

This landmark victory is a shining an industry involving an estimated example of NRDC’s unique ability 15 million people in developing nations, to apply science, law, and advocacy including 4.5 million women and to tackle a seemingly insurmountable 1 million children. problem of global scale. First, NRDC’s When it makes its way into experts systematically identified the certain types of water bodies, elemental most significant sources of mercury mercury converts to methylmercury, pollution in the world. We discovered which is highly toxic and has a tendency that although the best-known source was to accumulate in fish—and the people emissions from coal-fired power plants, who eat those fish. Harmful even at equally important was commodity-grade low levels of exposure, methylmercury mercury used in industry. We also learned interferes with the functioning of the that a flood of surplus mercury being brain and nervous system, vision, motor taken out of commission in developed skills, blood pressure, fertility, and more. countries was being “recycled” through At particular risk are young children export to developing nations, where with developing nervous systems and it was being used in polluting ways. pregnant mothers, who can transmit Most commonly, this exported mercury mercury to their unborn children, is used for artisanal gold mining, increasing the chances of miscarriage and birth defects.

accelerating the greening of china

Building Green in Beijing

or two weeks in August, the Beijing Olympic Village was the temporary home of more than 16,000 athletes, coaches, and officials from F around the world.

A project of that scale had the potential to be a huge drain on the environment. But NRDC saw the Olympics instead as an opportunity to promote green building technology. We worked with Olympics officials to make sure that the project featured extremely high energy and water efficiency, full- scale use of renewable energy, extensive use of recycled materials, and a zero- emissions reception center. Thanks to these cutting-edge green building techniques, the Olympic Village was awarded LEED-ND Gold certification, one of the world’s highest grades for environmental community design. The environmental benefits reached the And our green building work in entire city—our green building strategies Chinese and U.S. residential real estate China did not end with the closing eliminated 8,000 tons of carbon dioxide groups to standardize the methodology ceremonies.

An Interview with Barbara Finamore, Director of NRDC’s China Program

China’s Ministry Q: When did NRDC first become active in China, and how did you of Construction get involved? A: After working for the United Nations on China’s Sustainable Development awarded NRDC Blueprint for the 21st Century, I returned to the United States—knowing its first national the expertise NRDC could bring and the challenges China faced—and green building immediately began pushing for an NRDC program in China, which came to be in 1996. award. Q: How has China changed in the last two decades? A: A better question might be, “How hasn’t China changed?” When I arrived in 1990 there really weren’t any private cars—just bicycles, buses, and government vehicles—and no high-rise buildings. Now buildings come and go so fast that I can get lost in neighborhoods I once knew well! And the smog in urban areas can be hard to believe. One day you might be able to see clear across the city and the next day it’s like staring into a kitten’s fur.

Q: How does NRDC’s work in China support our domestic policy goals? A: Critics at home often say we can’t do anything to solve global warming because China isn’t doing anything. NRDC’s successful efforts to develop NRDC’s green building work in alternative energy sources and increase energy efficiency China began in 1996. We started by all boost the potential for international cooperation to going straight to the people we knew address the climate crisis—and take the wind out of those could make a difference: provincial race-to-the-bottom arguments. governments and policymakers.
