Robin Wood is a German environmental advocacy group. The group was founded in 1982 by former members of Greenpeace who desired a decentralized grassroots organization with greater autonomy to address specific local German issues.[1] Robin Wood is based in Bremen and, in 2008, was composed of fifteen mostly autonomous regional groups within Germany.[2]
Initially concerned with the conservation of German forests, particularly the Black Forest,[3] the group's activism efforts later expanded to include rainforest conservation, paper recycling, reduction of acid rain and other related areas. Robin Wood stages "attention-grabbing" demonstrations and confrontational public protests to raise awareness.[4] Although peaceful, the demonstrations are described as "often illegal."[4] The group publishes the quarterly Robin Wood Magazin.
