One of China’s most critical environmental problems is water pollution; 300 million people lack access to clean drinking water; over 70 percent of lakes and rivers are polluted; and according to an article in the Wall Street Journal, “factories and cities dump some 40 to 60 billion tons of wastewater and sewage into lakes and rivers each year.”

On October 14, 2006, West Coast communities from Mexico to Washington State rallied for clean energy, and against dangerous, polluting LNG terminals. Here are some photos from the events.

Kamchatka has captured the hearts of explorers for centuries. Home to rich indigenous cultures, dozens of active volcanos, thousands of gigantic brown bears, and some of the world's most productive salmon spawning streams, it's no wonder Kamchatka captivates.

This is a gallery of photos of Royal Dutch Shell’s enormously risky Sakhalin II oil and gas project which show examples of severe environmental damage. The captions include the violations or possible risks depicted, the date, photographer, river or nearby river crossing, and the approximate kilometer of pipeline (KP) - referencing SEIC's listing on its website.

Pacific Environment brought over Sakhalin community members to share their experiences with mega-oil and gas projects with Alaskans.

Each year, Pacific Environment works with the Global Greengrants Fund to provide small grants to over 50 grassroots organizations around China. Our on-the-ground staff, led by Wen Bo, a respected Chinese activist who co-founded China’s first student environmental network, offers these groups and others capacity-building support so they have the skills and tools needed to succeed. Finally, through workshops and trainings, we bring Chinese activists together to learn from each other’s experiences and to develop cooperative campaigns, maximizing these grassroots groups’ social and environmental impact.

One of China’s growing conservation issues is the sale and exchange of wild animals and plants and products made from them. The wildlife trade industry is estimated to be worth billions of dollars, the majority of trade being illegal.
