what deforestation is forcing our world into

A check of the Web revealed a very encouraging 37.500 listings of environmental organisations, and most of them by far are - as they should be - local and regional. For this reason, I have included here only a few major environmental web sites, among them some environmental web directories for those people who want to find an environmental organisation in their area.

	Tree Canada works to facilitate the planting and care of trees throughout urban and rural Canada; educate Canadians about the benefits of planting and caring for trees; assist interested parties in implementing a wide range of self-sustaining tree planting and educational initiatives; encourage corporations, communities and individuals to participate in the program.
	National Environmental Trust is a non-profit, non-partisan membership group established in 1994 to inform citizens about environmental problems and how they effect our health and quality of life. Through public education, NET helps people understand an issue and express their concerns to public officials. Includes a section on Children's Environmental Health. (Highly recommended).
	The Nature Conservancy works to preserve plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive.
	The World Rainforest Movement is a global network of citizens' groups of North and South involved in efforts to defend the world's rain forests against the forces that destroy them. It works to secure the lands and livelihoods of forest peoples and supports their efforts to defend the forests from commercial logging, dams, mining, plantations, shrimp farms, colonisation and settlement and other projects that threaten them.
	Conservation International works to conserve the Earth's living natural heritage, our global biodiversity, and to demonstrate that human societies are able to live harmoniously with nature.
	The Environmental Action Coalition works to enhance the quality of our urban ecosystem by fostering meaningful community-based activities and encouraging effective public and private-sector initiatives.
	The Environmental Protection Agency works to protect human health and to safeguard the natural environment - air, water, and land - upon which life depends. A US government agency with sweeping powers, it has banned 42 pesticides as part of its vast scope of activity which is most apparent in its numerous press releases, and contain much valuable information for everyone.
	Environmental News Network works closely with leading nonprofit groups, academia and corporations to create the definitive on-line destination for environmental information and services. From content and commerce to governance and technology, ENN connects consumers and corporations in the New Economy.
	E - The Environmental Magazine, a non-profit publication, reports on all the key environmental issues: water and air quality, climate change, endangered wildlife, the state of our oceans and fisheries, and population growth impacts - all with contact information so people can plug into efforts to turn the tide. E also provides practical information on a range of lifestyle topics in their "Green Living" section.
