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 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.
Green Anhui’s mission is to increase
public interest and activism in environmental protection. Founded in 2004,
Green Anhui now has offices in Hefei, Wuhu and Bengbu
which operate five different programs: Water Conservation & Protection,

Environmental Education and a Public Awareness Campaign. In 2008, after a
two-year long campaign, Green Anhui led the Chougang villagers to successfully
shutdown three chemical factories that were polluting the village waterways.
Green Anhui partners with Pacific Environment to protect Anhui’s water resources through the Huai
River Protection & Communication Program (HRPCP) and Qingyi River Project.
