Some environmentally concerned non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have a huge worldwide membership and can command expertise, funds and legal support, which makes them a force to be reckoned with. Those tempted to undervalue the environment are now likely to face NGO opposition, some of it international and some indigenous – often both co-operate. NGOs and others are also able to call upon another new force which can pressure governments and large business over environmental issues – the media, including the Internet. In developed countries like The Netherlands, NGOs have played a significant role in negotiating covenants and agreements between business and the government which aim to reduce environmental damage. In developing countries, NGOs already act as ‘whistleblowers’, support indigenous groups and those weakly-enfranchised, and have prompted better environmental awareness. NGOs like Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth gather data and lobby on issues like global climate change, tropical forest loss and other issues.
