Environmental Organizations and Agencies

Listed below are a few orgnizations and agencies who are comitted to preventing the destruction of earth as well as the resoration of what has been degraded as well as thier mission statement.
All the groups I have posted are well respected and trustworthy, fully devoted to the cause of our planet. I only had previous, and basic knowledge of 3 of the 9 groups listed. Sadly I only  actively follow one, National Geographic Society. However after looking into the history and the agenda of these agencies and organizations I am certain I will begin to follow more and hopefully see where I can get involved or support them.
