The Rainforest Action Nework (RAN) is an environmental organisation based in San Francisco, California, USA.
The organization was founded by Randy Hayes in 1985.
RAN campaigns for the forests, their inhabitants and the natural systems that sustain life by transforming the global marketplace through grassroots organizing, education and non-violent direct action. RAN helped pioneer market campaigns against large multinational corporations in the 1990's, using grassroots activism and savvy media work to advocate for changes in environmental policies. Since then, RAN has had numerous successes in its Old Growth, Global Finance, and Zero Emissions campaigns against logging companies, banks, and vehicle manufacturers.
