Environmental charities in China
We’ve all heard of Greenpeace and the World Wildlife Fund, but what are some other charitable organizations dedicated to environmental issues, specifically in China?
Here is a limited list of some of the best resources I’ve come across. Please add your comments below to alert ResponsibleChina readers to organizations that I may have missed.
International Fund for China’s Environment
The International Fund for China¡¯s Environment (IFCE) is an international environmental organization based in Washington DC, with branch offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Wuhan. Founded in 1996 by a group of scientists and professionals concerned with China’s environmental problems, IFCE aims to ensure a healthy global environment and continued economic development by helping China solve its environmental problems.
US-China Association for Environmental Education
Our mission is to help China achieve environmentally sustainable development by raising public environmental awareness and promoting public participation in environmental protection through media and community activities. We are working closely with our sister organization in China Global Village of Beijing to achieve this goal.
USCEF is a project focused, non-membership organization. We consult with Chinese agencies and identify appropriate U.S. partners who have technical resources to contribute to resource management and educational challenges in China. Given its experience and history, USCEF is well suited to assist China through the promotion and management of strategic partnerships. This strategy provides not only resources for current priorities but also facilitates vision and initiative for the future.
Environmental Education Media Project
EEMP is a non-profit organization. Its mission includes producing as well as delivering environmental education materials to Asian countries. EEMP aims to raise the level of public awareness and appreciation of global and local environmental issues.
JGI China focuses on the Roots & Shoots hands-on environmental and humanitarian education program for schoolchildren and university students; community conservation activities; awareness campaigns for wildlife protection; and sustainable development in rural areas.

Funny how China can dump billions into nukes, a manned space program and fleets of Audis and Mercedes for its national and provincial leaders yet has the nerve to go around asking for “contributions” to solve its environmental problems.
Maybe if the PLA sold those 900 missiles pointed at Taiwan, or the hundreds of new Russian fighters it bought, or its anti-satellite laser, or all of that Great Firewall hardware and software, then there might be some money to plug into cleaning up China’s self made mess.
Oh, and there’s the issue of 1.3 trillion USD in reserves.
But China is a developing country, which is all the excuse they need.
Brotha, can you spare a couple of billion dollas?
