Ecologists in Action

For this to happen, Ecologistas en Acción organises campaigns for civil society's outreach on a great number of ecological and energy-related issues.

The goal was to create a common organization under a single name, which would come up to have a public recognition comparable to already-existing NGOs such as Greenpeace, Fondo de la naturaleza, Tierra, or the Sociedad Ornitológica Española (SEO / BirdLife).

However, its internal working based on direct democracy has attracted sectors from the general population which would not have originally been interested in ecological causes.

These groups, independently of the number of associates or activists, have a vote in the yearly federal assembly of Ecologistas en Acción.

As of February 2009, Ecologists in Action is active in Andalusia (with the largest number of local groups, over 100), Aragón, Asturias, the Canary Islands, Cantabria, Castile and León, Castile-La Mancha, Catalonia, the Community of Madrid, the Basque Country, Extremadura, La Rioja, Navarre, the Valencian Community and the Region of Murcia, as well as in the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla.
