Green Eyes: Wenzhou, Zhejiang http://www.greeneyeschina.org/

Established in 2000, Green Eyes’ mission is to provide opportunities for students to observe the real state of the local environment and to engage in activism to protect water resources and campaign against wildlife trade. Green Eyes has grown into a professional and respected NGO with offices located in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong Province. Green Eyes runs an Animal Rehabilitation Clinic and a 24-hour Animal Rescue Hotline in Cangnan. In 2009, Green Eyes’s Guangdong chapter, South China Nature Society, successfully scored a landmark victory by rescuing a 3-meter long, gray nurse shark from being slaughtered and served as shark fin soup by a local restaurant. Green Eyes partners with Pacific Environment to promote youth awareness and activism in protecting water resources.

Green Camel Bell: Lanzhou, Gansu Province http://www.gcb.ngo.cn/en/

Green Camel Bell is dedicated to protecting the environment of China’s western region.  Founded by the charismatic outdoorsman and Electronic Communications engineer Zhaozhong in 2003, it has grown into a regionally and internationally respected watchdog organization with three dedicated staff and an active volunteer base. Green Camel Bell promotes grassroots activism in the protection of the Yellow River by organizing regular “City River Walks” for the general public, Water Environment Forums for stakeholders and training workshops for student environmental groups. Green Camel Bell collaborates with Pacific Environment and the Institute for Public and Environmental Affairs to monitor polluting enterprises along the Yellow River and conduct Third Party Audits. Zhaozhong was named as one of Time Magazine’s Heroes of the Environment in 2009.
