Web sites submitted to this category should be directories of, or lists of links to, organizations or independent Web sites that provide information on activities of organizations concerned generally with the management and protection (as opposed to scientific study) of the environment and natural resources.

This category excludes sites that are mainly bibliographic, i.e., sites emphasizing links to publications whether print or online.

In terms of geography, this category favors Web sites that focus on the world as a whole or on a world region such as Africa or the Pacific Ocean; or focus on a country with links to the international community.
