1 People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) if one of the largest animal rights organizations in the world. It has more than a million members and supporters. Founded in 1980, PETAs aim is to protect the rights of all animals. PETA operates under the simple principle that animals are not ours to eat wear, experiment on or use for entertainment. PETA focuses its attention on the areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in laboratories, in the clothing and in the entertainment industries.
2. Invasive Species Specialist Group (ISSG) protects natural ecological systems and the species of plants and animals they contain from the species brought to these systems from outside. Global trade and communication lead to the fact that new species invade the territories where they don’t belong. In this case the species belonging to this territory often disappear. ISSG is a global group of scientists and experts from 41 countries. Its centre is in New Zealand. It has three regional sections in North America, Europe and South Asia.
3. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (the RSPCA) has been working since 1824 encouraging kindness to animals, trying to stop cruelty to them. In 1840 the Society’s work was considered to be so successful that Queen Victoria gave her permission for the SPCA to be called the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. New branches of the society began to appear and the 175 branches in England and Wales that exist today run 38 clinics and 33 animal centres.
4. Greenpeace is an international organization whose members work actively to protect the environment from damage caused by industrial processes or military activities. It is known for using its own boats to try to prevent governments from testing nuclear weapons, to prevent companies from pouring poisonous chemicals into the sea, and to try to save whales and other sea animals from being killed. Greenpeace has been campaigning against environmental degradation since 1971.
5. The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is one of the world’s largest independent conservation organizations with almost five million supporters and a global network active in more than 100 countries. WWF’s mission is to stop degradation of the planet’s natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature.
6. Kids for a Clean Environment organization started in 1989. The first club had six members. Very soon it became popular and today there are more than 300 000 individual members. It is one of the largest youth environmental organizations. Its aim is to give children as much information about environment problems possible and to encourage them to become “green” and help nature wherever it is possible. Membership is free to schoolchildren and teachers.
