Conservation Organizations Want to preserve species and habitats Some are local, others are global Governmental organizations – follow policies of one or more governments and are funded by governments Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) – funded by individuals or independent groups.

UNEP and WWF United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Coordinates the United Nations work on the environment Helps LEDCs implement environmentally sound policies Develops environmental laws covering: atmosphere, marine and terrestrial ecosystems and green economy. World Wide Fund for Nature/World Wildlife Fund (WWF) NGO, International Independent organization, but works with businesses, gov’ts and local communities Creates sustainable solutions that work for people and nature Ultimate goal = “People living in harmony with nature”

UNEP and WWF Have similar ideals, but operate differently. Government organization (UNEP) Non-governmental organization (NGO) (WWF)

UNEP and WWF Government organization (UNEP) Non-governmental organization(NGO) (WWF) Speed of response Slow, often many countries are involved in negotiations Each country may have its own view or legal position Generally faster because NGOs are independent…able to make decisions quickly

UNEP and WWF Government organization (UNEP) Non-governmental organization(NGO) (WWF) Diplomatic constraints Often held back by political arguments between countries Must respect legal requirements of each nation Not affected by diplomatic constraints
