Immediate Source of Acquisition
The Earth Island Institute Records were given to the Bancroft Library by the Earth Island Institute's executive directors,
John Knox and David Phillips, in 2009 and 2011.
Organizational History
Based in Berkeley, California, Earth Island Institute is an international nonprofit conservation group established by noted
environmentalist David R. Brower. The organization serves as an incubator supporting numerous ecological and social justice
projects working to conserve, protect and restore the environment. Earth Island Institute was founded in 1982, opened their
first office in San Francisco in 1986, and has fostered hundreds of local and internationally focused environmental projects
including Baikal Watch, Bay Area Wilderness Training, Borneo Project, the Brower Fund, International Marine Mammal Project,
Restore Hetch Hetchy, Sacred Land Film Project, the Sea Turtle Restoration Project and Transportation Involves Everyone (T.I.E.).
The roster of Earth Island Institute projects changes from year to year as some projects are completed, added or otherwise
evolve. Brower served as Chairman of the Board of Directors from its founding until his death in 2000. John Knox and David
Phillips served in leadership roles as Co-Executive Directors over the time period that these records span. Phillips also
serves as director of the International Marine Mammal Project, worked extensively to pass dolphin conservation legislation
and helped to establish and lead the Free Willy Keiko Foundation, along with Mark Berman. Berman served as Director to International
Marine Mammal Project's Dolphin-Safe Tuna Monitoring Program during much of the period these materials cover, campaigned against
the practice of animal captivity in theme parks and was the force behind passing much of the early dolphin protection legislation
and campaigns against dolphin slaughter in Taiji, Japan.
The International Marine Mammal Project is a Berkeley, California based program of the Earth Island Institute founded in 1982.
The International Marine Mammal Project directs a number of campaigns to halt the practice of dolphin and whale captures and
killings and to free marine mammals held in captivity in aquariums, theme parks and other facilties around the world. In the
late 1980s, the International Marine Mammal Project launched an immensely successful campaign to place pressure on the commercial
tuna fishing industry to cease the practice of purse seine net (drift net) tuna fishing because of the extremely high instances
of dolphin mortality associated with that type of fishing. The Free Willy Keiko Foundation, founded in 1994, is one of the
largest and most well-known programs of the International Marine Mammal Project. It was established for the purpose of arranging
the rehabilitation and release of Keiko, the orca "killer whale" used in the making of the "Free Willy" film produced by Warner
Bros.

This collection contains the records of Earth Island Institute, a Berkeley, California based not for profit environmental

the Dolphin and Whale Project (including the Dolphin-Safe Tuna Campaign) and the Free Willy Keiko Foundation. Limited records
on other Earth Island Institute projects is included in the collection, mainly the Brower Fund, Glen Canyon Institute, Restore
Hetch Hetchy and Yosemite projects. Additionally, documentation is included on the group's participation in the World Trade

financial, development and grant materials, legislative documentation, contracts and agreements, press releases and media
kits, photographs, news articles, magazines, and clippings. Mostly in English with some materials in Spanish, Icelandic, Norwegian
and Japanese languages. Researchers should note that occassionally, (likely for environmental re-use purposes), documents
were printed onto the verso of reused paper and therefore verso contents may be unrelated to the front side of the documents.

Scope and Contents
The Free Willy Keiko Foundation is a private, not for profit organization founded in 1994, originally funded by sponsorships
from Warner Bros. and New Regency Productions, the Craig O. McCaw Foundation, and the Oregon Coast Aquarium. The foundation's
mission is "To rescue, rehabilitate, and attempt to return captive and stranded cetaceans to their native habitats, through
operation of a state-of-the-art deep-water rehabilitation facility. The Free Willy Keiko Foundation intends to attempt the
first reintroduction of a captive orca whale, and to engage in scientific research and public education necessary to accomplish
this goal and the Foundation's overall mission." Other organizations involved in supporting and funding Keiko's release were
the Humane Society of the United States, Mattel Toys and United Parcel Service (UPS). The foundation was managed under the
umbrella of the International Marine Mammal Project of the Earth Island Institute of Berkeley, California and the Whale and
Dolphin Conservation Society of United Kingdom. In March 1999, the Board of Directors of the Free Willy Keiko Foundation voted
to change of the corporation to Ocean Futures Society, Inc. and elected Jean-Michel Cousteau as its new president. In 2001,
Ocean Futures ceased to manage the project and the operation of monitoring and managing Keiko was returned to the Free Willy
Keiko Foundation and the Humane Society of the United States. The collection is arranged all under the Free Willy Keiko Foundation
name, even though the corporate name changed with "Ocean Futures" added while they were leading the project.
Keiko was captured in the North Atlantic off Iceland in 1979, sold to a Canadian theme park shortly thereafter and then sold
to the Reino Adventuro theme park in Mexico City, Mexico. Keiko was "discovered" there and cast in the starring actor role
in the Warner Bros./New Regency Productions 1993 film "Free Willy". Upon the film's release in theaters, Keiko gained thousands
of fans, including many children, environmentalists and animal welfare activists who then sought to gain freedom from captivity
for Keiko, as the fictional Willy had achieved in its Hollywood or storybook ending.
In 1995, Keiko was donated by the owners of Reino Adventura to the Free Willy Keiko Foundation. Rehabilitation and treatment
began in Mexico and in January 1996 Keiko was transported by airplane to a new facility at the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport,
Oregon. On September 9, 1998, after Earth Island Institute determined that Keiko had been sufficiently rehabiliated and relocation
sites had been scouted and selected, he was flown by airplane to Vettsmannaeyjar, Iceland where he was released into sea pens
off the coast on September 10, 1998. By summer of 2002, Keiko was released into Iceland's open waters. He then swam to Norway
and inhabited waters off Norway until his death in December 2003.
