ENVIRONMENTAL
NGOs



In light of the global nature of environmental damage, NGOs have
stepped up as transnational actors that address the interconnected
issues of the environment.

An environmental NGO is a non-governmental organization that deals
with issues of the environment, including the depletion of natural
resources, global warming and conservation. Environmental NGOs
focus on a wide range of issues and rely on a variety of means to
accomplish their goals.

The work of environmental NGOs may include acquiring and managing
endangered land, performing field research, lobbying government
institutions, and creating information campaigns to raise public
awareness. Others may serve as “watchdogs,” to hold governments
accountable to their past agreements (i.e. the Kyoto Protocol).
NGOs may work closely with governments and corporations to create
environmentally-friendly policy, or they may perform more drastic
direct action (i.e. occupying a coal mine to demonstrate against
existing energy policy).

Many environmental NGOs are also involved with work in development
and human rights. Global Witness is one example of an international
NGO that works to prevent resource-related conflict and the
associated human rights and environmental abuses.

CAREERS
IN
ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT



Careers in environmental management can be lucrative as well
as satisfying. Although varying in day-to-day operations, all
careers in environmental management strive towards protecting
the environment and properly managing natural resources.


Environmental Management Systems

Many in the field work with environmental management systems (EMS),
which are designed to help groups and organizations reduce their
impact on the environment and operate more efficiently. These
systems are constantly being updated and improved as new information
on the environment comes in and new technologies are developed.


Park Rangers

Park rangers work primarily for the National Park Service. They are
responsible for the protection of historic and environmental sites,
including animal nesting areas and eroding coastlines. The park
ranger often educates hikers and visitors on the dangers of the area
and relays the conservation regulations that are in place. It is the
duty of the park ranger to uphold the law in particular areas.


Environmental Manager

Environmental managers are responsible for the maintenance of a
company or organization's environmental profile. Civil engineering
and construction firms, as well chemical, oil and other energy
companies, often employ environmental managers. They are responsible
for making sure that organizations comply with environmental standards
and regulations while at the same time working to maximize productivity.


Air Quality Manager

Air quality managers specialize in pollution prevention and control.
They are responsible for monitoring, interpreting and regulating
particular concentrations of pollution. Governments, research institutes
and environmental consultancies and agencies often employ air quality
managers. They can also be responsible for checking damage to air
quality after environmental emergencies such as fuel leaks.


Recycling Coordinator

Recycling coordinators work to develop environmentally sound recycling
and waste reduction schemes. Waste management companies, non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) and national parks often employ recycling coordinators.
They often manage recycling plants or collection centers and work to promote
environmentally friendly recycling policies by staying up to date with new
recycling technologies.


Energy Consultant

Energy consultants provide organizations with energy advice and evaluations
and come up with energy saving schemes that increase productivity and take
the environment into consideration. Energy agencies, utilities and
consultancies often hire energy consultants. They might be employed to
"green" a company or organization, which entails updating its energy systems
and reducing its pollution and waste.


Other Career Opportunities

Careers in environmental management can cut cross many different sectors.
Although some people are employed by the state and work as park rangers,
others work for NGOs such as Greenpeace or in the private sector as
environmental and energy consultants. Some graduates of environmental
management programs go on to become professors who will educate the next
generation.
