We did some research and found many inspiring non-profits that focus on environmental issues and below are what we feel are the top 5 non-profits that help wildlife.
- One More Generation. This organization was started by siblings, Olivia and Carter, and strives to educate both children and adults about endangered species and how to keep these animals around for at least one more generation. The model has evolved and grown over time and One More Generation boasts a Plastic Awareness Coalition which partners with likeminded organizations to help target single-use plastic bags in an effort to reduce the environmental harm plastic causes, and the Plastic Awareness Week curriculum that teaches how subtle changes can help the environment.
- Sea Web. Sea Web focuses on realistic, science-based solutions to major threats that face the ocean from climate change, pollution and how this negatively impacts marine life. To meet these goals Sea Web takes on the intersection of economic, policy, social and environmental issues to improve the health of our oceans.
- 5 Gyres. Our oceans are full of plastic and the folks at 5 Gyres work with their partners at Pangaea Explorations and Algalita Marine Research Foundation, along with volunteers to study the 5 subtropical gyres, which are essentially flotillas of trash – primarily plastic, in the ocean to understand the impact of plastic pollution. 5 Gyres aims to eliminate plastic pollution through a variety of innovative and proven methods with the ultimate goal of cleaning up our oceans.
- Society for Conservation Biology. SCB is an international organization that works to promote the scientific study of events and actions that impact the maintenance, loss, and restoration of biological diversity. Ultimately, the Society for Conservation Biology looks to advance the science and practice of conserving the biological diversity of the Earth.
