This section includes links to some important environmental organizations and their web-based resources. These organizations have been engaged occasionally, and in some cases increasingly and deeply, within what could be called the 'religious environmentalist' milieu.
Animal welfare groups may not be obviously involved in activities and issues related to religion and nature. Many of those involved in such groups, however, are motivated to do so by religious sentiments. Moreover, some of them, such as the Humane Society of the United States, have supported, directly and indirectly, the 'greening of religion,' including by supporting academic groups, their conferences, and publications, such as the
Forum on Religion and Ecology, which is devoted to helping religions become more environmentally friendly. More information about such connections can be found in
The Encyclopedia of Religion and Nature, and in the cross references and bibliographies provided in it.
