Caring for the environment is agreed that it is certainly something we really should believe about in our everyday lives, by means of recycling, walking rather of driving and conserving water and the like when necessary.

On a larger scale events such as Earth Day each April, when a collaboration of countries across the globe endeavour to highlight environmental suffering by means of a series of activities such as an hour of darkness, when every single home and enterprise is needed to turn off all of their electricity for 1 hour and Globe Environment Day bring the world’s attention to just how critical conserving our environment is.

The following charities and organisations have gone a lengthy way in ensuring that the general population offer you, at least some thought to our environment, involved in lobbying, advocacy or conservation, or all, or a number of of these:

Greenpeace

Greenpeace is a non-governmental environmental agency.  Originating in British Columbia Canada in the early 1970′s, Greenpeace became Greenpeace on 15th September 1971, when it sent a chartered boat (named Greenpeace) to protest against nuclear testing in the Alaskan wilderness.

Because then Greenpeace has grown enormously, with offices in over 40 countries committed to campaigning for a number of causes such as climate alter, over-fishing, protecting the world’s forests and disarmament.

The most infamous environmental incident occurred when the Greenpeace boat, Rainbow Warrior which was in the South Pacific campaigning against French Nuclear Testing.  The French Government bombed the vessel in Auckland Harbour, New Zealand, killing a Dutch photographer.  After public outcry the French had been ordered to pay the NZ government compensation.

Pals of the Earth

Buddies of the Earth International is a group of international environmental organisations active in over 76 countries.

This non-governmental organisation campaigns for change in the most urgent environmental and social problems aiming to alter to make environmentally sustainable and socially fair society.

Each and every country exactly where FOE operate runs separately to other factions of the group and have a option to affiliate to the international group, which generally they do, to boost their strength and impact with numbers.

World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)

The World Wide Fund for Nature is synonymous with the Giant Panda that is its logo, and was formerly known as the World Wildlife Fund (which remains its name in Canada and the United States.  This NGO has been committed to conservation research and restoration of the environment for nearly 40 years.

It has 5 million supporters in over 90 countries and supports about 1300 conservation projects across the globe.

The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA)

The Environmental Investigation Agency was founded as an NGO in 1984 by three UK environmentalists.

Its goal is to investigate and expose crimes against wildlife and the environment.

EIA investigators work undercover, gathering evidence of environmental and wildlife crime.

The evidence in film and photographic form, is presented to the media and government policy makers “to inform, and persuade that action ought to be taken in order to shield the planet’s most precious species, habitats and important ecosystems.”
