Environmental NGO’S and their Role in Solving Environmental Issues: A Review

Abstract

"The definition of the related word ""environ"" is ""to surround"" or ""enclose"". Our planet, Earth, sustains life and provides for the natural world. It includes both living and non-living beings. Moreover, the earth is distinguished from other worlds by its ability to sustain life. Each biotic and abiotic component of an ecosystem plays a role in the development, evolution and survival of the organisms that inhabit it. The natural environment is essential to life as we know it on Earth and plays an important role in the growth and development of humans, animals and other living things. Disturbances in the regular functioning of ecosystems are termed Environmental Problems. Furthermore, these problems may arise naturally or as a result of human activity and affects on the environment. They are deemed catastrophic if the ecosystem is predicted to collapse with certainty and serious if it is not able to recover under the current circumstances. For the sake of the environment, people and wildlife, environmental protection is the practice of preserving the natural environment at the individual, governmental and non-governmental organizational (NGO) levels. The social and environmental movement, known as Environmentalism, uses action, legislation, education, and advocacy to address environmental challenges."
