volunteering for environmental-related projects and organizati..

Posted by: lmao on Sep 11, 2008 11:10pm

I found a few on a 10 sec google session:

read some at countdown2010 (wildlife and biodiversity)
http://www.countdown2010.net/china

and more specific

China Wildlife Conservation Association
http://countdown2010.net/?id=464&p=344

then some more diverse stuff (incl. women rights) at
United Nations Development Programme
http://www.undp.org/about/

then ofcourse our pals at
http://www.greenpeace.org/china/en/

or maybe
Beijing Human and Animal Environmental Education Center BHAEEC
http://www.wiserearth.org/organization/view/2d6639197187545faf6217fbd26d...

or
Natural Resources Defence Council
http://www.nrdc.org/about/

I also know the WSPA (world society for protection of animals) have a beijing office..and that SOS Children's Villages is opening a Beijing Children's Village..

Im sure a bit more imaginative googling than mine can reveal even more. Hope it helps

Oh Wind, if Winter cometh, can Spring be far behind?

your post was just automatically tagged as possible spam because there were a number of links in the post and lots of links is a 'spammy' characteristic. I 'freed' your post...

(jaydub is cool.)

these NGOS all have a Beijing office:

WWF
Nature Conservancy
Roots and Shoots (started by Jane Goodall)

here is a site listing a lot of local Chinese NGOs:
http://www.ngocn.org/?action-category-catid-225

I know of one in Beijing, that I volunteered with before too
Global Village of Beijing www.gvbchina.org.cn

What China really needs:
- Bill Nye, "the Science Guy", to come teach them basic Science.
- Jared Diamond, Dan Brown, and Spencer Wells to teach them about world/human history.
- MLK and Gandhi and Einstein to teach them about what being human means.
