Classification and goals

To evaluate the classification of environmental NGOs, it is important to consider these five factors:

  • geopolitical origins (location),
  • political ideology (left / right / neither support),
  • size (quantity),
  • level of political focus (local / regional / international / global),
  • funding sources (income).

Main goals of environmental NGOs include but are not limited to:

  • creating relationships with the government and other organizations,
  • offering training and assistance in agricultural conservation to maximize the use of local resources,
  • establishing environmental solutions, and managing projects implemented to address issues affecting a particular area.

To fully understand the social, economic, and environmental effects that the organization can have on a region, it is also important to note that the organization can act outside the formal processes what state governments and other government institutions must comply with.
