FSC offers condolences to family and friends of Rebecca Tarbotton

January 3, 2013


On December 26, the environmental community lost a champion when Rebecca Tarbotton, the executive director of the Rainforest Action Network, passed away after a swimming accident while on holiday in Mexico. In her time at the helm at RAN, Rebecca oversaw negotiations with the Walt Disney Company on their landmark paper procurement policy, among many other accomplishments.

The Forest Stewardship Council offers our sincere condolences to Rebecca's family and to her colleagues and friends at RAN. Her clear vision and strong voice will be deeply missed.
