Comparison between GOs and NGOs, working to conserve or preserve biodiversity and the environment
Efforts to conserve and preserve species and habitats rely on citizens, conservation organizations and governments to act in various ways.
Organizations that work to conserve or preserve biodiversity and the environment may be local or global or both. There are national branches and regional and local offices of the large international organizations. They also fall into two categories depending on their constitution and funding. Governmental organizations (GOs) may be intergovernmental or part of a national government; non-governmental (NGOs) may be international or local and funded by individuals or groups.
Using your textbook (Name of textbook: Environmental Systems and Societies, from: the Oxford IB Diploma Programme) and other sources compare and contrast the role and activities of intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations in preserving and restoring ecosystems and biodiversity.
Consider the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) as an intergovernmental organization and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and Greenpeace as non-governmental organizations.
Start off by giving a detailed description of the organization. Identify their difference in terms of use of the media, speed of response, diplomatic constraints and political influence.
