Replaces Dr. Brent Blackwelder.

Erich Pica, one of the nation’s leading experts on the impacts of subsidies to the oil and gas industries and other polluters, has become Friends of the Earth’s new president.

Pica’s tenure follows that of Dr. Brent Blackwelder, the longest-serving environmental advocate in Washington, who is retiring after compiling a series of campaign victories during his 16 years as president.
