Robin Wood is based in Bremen and, in 2008, was composed of fifteen mostly autonomous regional groups within Germany.

Initially concerned with the conservation of German forests, particularly the Black Forest, the group's activism efforts later expanded to include rainforest conservation, paper recycling, reduction of acid rain and other related areas. Robin Wood stages "attention-grabbing" demonstrations and confrontational public protests to raise awareness. Although peaceful, the demonstrations are described as "often illegal." The group publishes the quarterly Robin Wood Magazin.
