greenpeaceMission: Greenpeace is a global network of independent campaigning organizations founded in 1971 that use peaceful protest and creative communication to expose global environmental problems and promote solutions that are essential to a green and peaceful future.
Environmental Defense FundEnvironmental Defense Fund's mission is to preserve the natural systems on which all life depends.
Guided by science and economics, we find practical and lasting solutions to the most serious environmental problems. What distinguishes Environmental Defense Fund is the combination of what we protect and how we protect it. We work to solve the most critical environmental problems facing the planet. This has drawn us to areas that span the biosphere: climate, oceans, ecosystems and health. Since these topics are intertwined, our solutions take a multidisciplinary approach. We work in concert with other organizations — as well as with business, government and communities — and avoid duplicating work already being done effectively by others. Red ListEstablished in 1964, the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species has evolved to become the world’s most comprehensive information source on the global extinction risk status of animal, fungus and plant species.

Nature ConservancyFounded in 1951, The Nature Conservancy has over one million members globally as of 2021, and has protected more than 119,000,000 acres (48,000,000 ha) of land and thousands of miles of rivers worldwide.
AFRICAN WILDLIFE FOUNDATIONCreated in 1961, in the spirit of Africa’s independence movement, AWF has always focused solely on conservation in Africa. The ownership of conservation must be with the people who ultimately bear the costs and reap the benefits of the action, meaning the communities, protected-area authorities, and national governments who hold rights over the resource base.
Development is inevitable. Unsustainable development is not. Dian Fossey Gorilla FundDian Fossey’s work to study and protect the lives of the wild gorillas in Rwanda touched the hearts of people around the world. Her focus, courage and passion have inspired many conservationists who have followed since. And her legacy lives on today, in the gorilla protection, science, education and people programs of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.
Edge of ExistenceThe EDGE of Existence programme is the only global conservation initiative to focus specifically on threatened species that represent a significant amount of unique evolutionary history. Using a scientific framework to prioritize little-known EDGE species, we put these species on the map and catalyze conservation action to secure their future.
