Books published by Foundation for Deep Ecology

In 1990, Doug Tompkins created the Foundation for Deep Ecology as an environmental grantmaking organization that supports education and advocacy on behalf of wild nature. FDE currently focuses on its publishing program, which produces large photo-format activist books. Following in a tradition pioneered by legendary conservationist David Brower who used exhibit format books to support the Sierra Club's advocacy work in the 1960s, FDE staff and outside colleagues have modernized the format and produce a series of books to inspire activism. FDE does not sell these books; they are distributed by commercial and nonprofit publishing houses, and are available at a range of bookstores and on Amazon. For more information on FDE's publishing program, click here.

Although Conservacion Patagonica plays no direct role in the creation or distribution of these books, we agree with their stances and support their activism.
