Friends of the Earth International (FoEI) is an international network of
grassroots environmental organizations in 73 member groups in 70 countries.
About half of the member groups call themselves "Friends of the Earth" in their
own languages; the others use other names. The organization was founded in 1969
in San Francisco by David Brower, Donald Aitken and Gary Soucie after Brower's
split with the Sierra Club, and "Friends of the Earth International" is
established in 1971 when it was founded by four organisations from France,
Sweden, the UK and the USA.
FoEI currently has a secretariat (based in
Amsterdam, Netherlands) which provides support for the network and its agreed
major campaigns.

This flag is the Spanish language counterpart to the previous flag, bearing the
same design, but with the words on the logo in Spanish instead of English –
"DONE" in black capital letters in the light blue part of the logo, and "VIDA"
in similar letters on the bright green part of the logo. This flag is for sale
on the organization's website, but I have yet to find any photographs of the
flag actually in use.
