Friends of Nature ‒ FON

Beijing, China

This organisation may not be a traditional think tank. We have included it in this list as we deem it to be a 'boundary' organisation – in other words, it might have some qualities or characterstics of a think tank.

Friends of Nature (FON) is the nationwide environmental NGOs in China. Through programs in environmental education, low-carbon household, ecological community, litigation, policy advocacy, and others, it has been making efforts to rebuild the bond between human beings and nature, preserve the ecosystem and promote the growth of more green citizens. Friends of Nature strives to promote public awareness of environmental issues and create platforms for public participation in environmental decision-making. FON is committed to helping its members proactively undertake their responsibilities as both green citizens and green consumers.
