Environmental Whistleblowers & Whistleblower Protection.
When a governmental agency, business, or other organization
is hiding environmental misbehavior or negligence, often we
depend on whistleblowers to learn the truth and force a change
in behavior. These truth-tellers often pay a price, and protecting
them is the way we'll get the truth out more often. See Gloria
Flora, Linda Ferguson, and Richard
Renner.
Natural Land Conservation. There are many important benefits
of conserving natural undeveloped land, and there are likewise
many organizations using a wide range of strategies, techniques
and tools for achieving those benefits. See Mark
Van Putten, Bill
Birchard, Huey
Johnson, Adam Davis, Katie
Alvord, Gloria Flora, Mary Pearl, Roger
Ballentine, Rick
Johnson, and Debbie
S. Miller.
River & Lake Protection & Restoration. Rivers and freshwater lakes can be threatened by urban and industrial wastewater discharges, excessive diversion for human use, dams and reservoirs, urban development, riparian and lakeshore development, wetland loss, forestry operations, agricultural runoff, and soil erosion.
