EARTH ISLAND PROJECT SUPPORT:Nurturing Diverse Initiatives to Save Our Shared Planet

摘要

It was only then, as she began to indepen-dendy navigate the complexities of IRS approval and nonprofit administration, that Perez-Arce realized the true value of Earth Island Institute's Project Support team, which had been providing Viva Sierra Gorda organizational support since 2004.
