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)

the list of environmental organizations doesnt belong under Environmental science! it should appear under environmentalism or environmental movement, etc. Environmental science is strictly about the science of analyzing environmental effects. let others weigh in on this. regards Anlace 02:18, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Here's a list from my paper on Littering: Sierra Club, Keep America Beautiful, Environemtal Defense, Alliance on Environmetal Education. <references:Spacek, S.

[edit] List or category?

This page has been superseded by the category system.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)

I like both : list and category are complementary . for example for the groups by countries, it's easier to consult a list. although somebody take times to categorize, but sometimes it's irrelevant (one group in a country ...) --Ayanoa 22:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brazil

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

[edit] Env. Science

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.

[edit] Environmentalists for Nuclear Energy

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)

[edit] Law Enforcement infiltration

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)

Don't get me wrong people. I like animals and the environment as well. Its just that one does not want to end up in jail. Prison life is hellish for a reason, that being to punish criminals. 65.173.104.109 (talk) 09:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
