Need to sort the list of private organisations by country or as international. User talk:Alan Liefting
I found a lot of Canadian organizations just by going to the website of one organization I knew and manually 'spidering' through their links pages. I'm sure the same can be done for other countries. In response to Alan's comment, I have used subcategories for countries in the list of private orgs, but didn't for governmental because there aren't too many at this point. I was surprised that there is so little on environmental organizations on Wikipedia; I would have thought the environmental-type to be WP's prime audience! RealGrouchy 15:47, 30 May 2004 (UTC)
I'm surprised too. I intend to work on this, especially the UK organizations. I've started doing bits on the Friends of the Earth pages, since that's the one I am most closely involved in. Help or further discussion appreciated. -- FrankP 19:41, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Here's a list from my paper on Littering: Sierra Club, Keep America Beautiful, Environemtal Defense, Alliance on Environmetal Education. <references:Spacek, S.

A complete list of environmental organizations would surely exceed 10,000. There are several thousand land trusts in the US alone. It would be more useful to establish listing criteria, e.g. a budget above $5 million for at least 3 years. For that matter, listing organizations in size order would be more useful than alphabetically. C. Cerf ( talk) 18:27, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Many NGO organizations that have an international scope or presence and are listed under individual countries and vice-versa. Perhaps all should be moved to the country where they are chartered to avoid the problem of the international listing here. The international section would then be deleted. 76.239.24.80 ( talk) 08:50, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
This page has been superseded by the category system. What shall we do with this page? It is difficult to maintain and may become quite large. Alan Liefting 21:08, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Howdy, Added some organizations under Brazil. They don´t link anywhere. Maybe I´ll fix that. Maybe you will. haha. I deleted IPAM from the list of Brazilian organizations, since it links to some unrelated computer jargon and I´ve never heard of it. ~~Envirocorrector. 27 June 2007
I half agree that this shouldn't be within environmental science, which really is about the science. That said, many organizations are important players in environmental science. Something like 1/2 of The Nature Conservancy's staff are scientists. 27 June 2007
I've removed this item from the Intergovernmental organizations section as it doesn't seem to belong there. Johnfos ( talk) 01:07, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Did you know that some, if not all of the Environmental groups listed here are considered terrorists by the US and the UK, other nations ? See Operation Backfire for more on US law enforcement operations against certain environmental groups, orgs and against environmentalism in general. Here is a example: You and your buds are planning to burn down a KFC facility, because they said that your agenda was "full of shit". Suddenly, metallic objects crash through the windows and detonate ( flashbangs), then milli-seconds after detonation, what look like soldiers ( SWAT) burst inside, place MP5s, other guns in your faces, YELL at you, using profanity, to LIE DOWN on the floor, then they use plastic cuffs to handcuff you. You cannot resist, since the flashbangs has rendered you unable to do anything at all. Then they pick you and your buds up, all other evidence up, and haul you and it to the local jail and police station. Later, you and your buds are sentenced for criminal solicitation, using explosives and destructive devices, conspiracy, violating the USA Patriot Acts, attempted arson, arson, domestic terrorism (The one they got the OK. City Bombers on), basically "you name it". Then you're the "property" of the US govt.(prison garb often has "Property of the....(the county, state US)" on it.) for the next several years. End example how Operation Backfire functions in one situation. 65.173.104.109 ( talk) 09:05, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Someone who understands the layout of this list should revise some of the headings and subheadings so that they are all unique within the page.

I included a link on the "Other" group and it was deleted. The link is http://www.tiptheplanet.com/ which is an organization that aims to help the environment. I'm new here so could anyone tell me why it was deleted and any further recommendations/suggestions? Jrecinto ( talk) 16:03, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
there are so many organizations it is hard to make head or tail of them. you should have sub-headings specifying what exactly these groups are for. there are many environmental causes and US regions. 152.19.32.223 ( talk) 22:38, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
Does this list really need a separate section for children's organizations? Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld ( talk) 10:32, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Should this article focus solely on environmental non-governmental organizations? That clearly is the main emphasis of the content. The first two sections, on intergovernmental organizations and governmental agencies, respectively, are covered better in their own main articles. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld ( talk) 21:12, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

I'm uncertain about the value/ strengths/ focus of this article. Arguably, its main strength is the listing of environmental NGOs. But, as argued above, would this best be done via Categories by country? Should this article be renamed/ refocused/ further developed as a List of environmental non-governmental organizations, by country? Should it be deleted? Thanks for your input.
