National Resource Defense Council

The National Resource Defense Council, NRDC, is one of the nation's most effective environmental action groups. The goal of this organization is to defend the wildreness and the wildlife that populates these environments. The National Resource Defense Council also seeks to protect clean air, clean water, and a healthy environment. This organization has been making great strides in the fight against water pollution, air pollution, acid rain, the ozone layer and global warming issues. This organization finds it important that all people have a voice in their environmental issues and seeks to create a new way of life for mankind; one that does not involve the depletion of the world's natural resources.

Greenpeace

Greenpeace is an independent global campaigning organization (present in 40 countries around the world) that acts to change attitudes and behavior, to protect and conserve the environment and to promote peace by catalysing an energy revolution, defending our oceans, protecting the world's ancient rain forests, working for disarmament and peace, creating a toxic free future, and campaigning for sustainable agriculture. This organization also says no to genetic engineering, seeks to eliminate toxic chemicals and seeks to end the nuclear age. This organization has millions of supporters worldwide who volunteer their time and money to projects worldwide to promote environmental conservation and preservation.

Wild Spot Foundation

The Wild Spot Foundation is dedicated to saving the habitats of endagered species through many programs that promote, defend, and protect against biodiversity. This organization is committed to the conservation by incorporating a sense of ownership for the world's wild spots in return for the beauty that these natural habitats offer for generations to come. The organization believes that the ineraction between living things and their habitat sustain life on earth. Knowing that plants and animals are located in a variety of environments, mankind is able to interact with their environment on a daily basis. Therefore, this organization teaches mankind the biology of endagered species, the ecology of habitats, and educate about the indigenous people who inhabit these areas. The Wild Spots Foundation, Inc. is committed to the conservation of natural resources and the preservation of wildlife.

This organization has many institutional objectives including to promote and protect biodiversity throughout the world, to provide aesthetic and symbolic value for human culture, to preserve sacred and historic lands, to support and exploit the concept of transformative value, to follow the principles of stewardship, and to educate and involve youth. Wild Spots Foundation promotes these objectives worldwide and also has special projects, with unique objectives, for projects in South Florida and the Amazonia Cloud Forest of Ecuador. The organization seeks to develop special research centers in these locations to implement educational programs for the youth in these areas as well as developing and implementing travel programs for citizens of all countries.

I would choose to join the Wild Spot Foundation because the ideas and objectives of the organization meet my beliefs and needs as an environmentalist. I believe in the mission of the organization: to conserve natural resources and preserve our wildlife for the beauty that these habitats bring to future generations. The travel oppurtunities and ideas for citizens of all countries may turn the beauty of these habitats into a reality for those individuals who only dream of visiting a gorgeous biodiverse habitat filled with plants and animals beyond their wildest dreams! I agree that an affective way to preserve and conserve is to educate the world's future generation, our youth. By aiming the education at this age group, they may be able to produce the major changes that we need to save our environment.
