IRS990/Desc0The Campaign to Stop GE Trees: In 2018, GJEP presented to the National Academy of Sciences on the social and ecological risks of genetically engineered trees for a report they wrote on the potential for using biotechnology to address forest health, which came out in January 2019. GJEP coordinated a national meeting to discuss efforts to prevent the release of genetically engineered American chestnut (GEAC) trees into wild forests. The Campaign also developed a white paper on the topic of the GEAC called "Biotechnology for Forest Health? The test case of the GE American chestnut". The white paper was finished an printed in early F.Y. 2019. The campaign organized a media webinar on the GEAC which included national participation by experts on the risks and impacts of the GEAC, who presented this information to the media on the webinar. The Campaign reached millions of people with its concerns about GE trees through an op-ed in The Hill, and articles in several large and small publications.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Global Justice Media Program: GJEP continued its partnership with The Sojourner Truth show on Pacifica Radio's Los Angeles based station, KPFK. GJEP coordinated guests for a weekly interview segment called the Earth Watch which features the voices of frontline community members, experts and activists on timely environmental news topics that are not being covered in the mainstream press. GJEP also writes and records a weekly Earth Minute for KPFK. These programs are nationally syndicated and reach millions of people. GJEP also hosted two exhibits in its Buen Vivir Gallery. These exhibits were "One Wolrd: Across Issues and Through Skins" which documented the importance of protest, from Buffalo, NY to the rural regions of Kenya. The second exhibit was by the #Notwhite Collective, called "In Between the Middle", which described the experience of women of mixed race descent here in the United States.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Biofuelwatch Program: Over the past year, Biofuelwatch continued its major research into the "big picture" of biotechnology developments for biofuels. This included looking into the actual and potential impacts of proposed climate "solutions" such as cellulosic biofuels, biomass burning, biochar and various climate geoengineering schemes. This research culminated in several press releases and two reports, as well as contribution to campaigns and reports put out by other organizations. BFW also testified before the National Academy of Sciences on the social and ecological risks of genetically engineered trees for a report they wrote on the potential for using biotechnology to address forest health, which came out in January 2019.
