China will give full play to the role of non-governmental organizations for environmental protection to push forward the healthy development of environment conservation. This is learned from the Seminar on Environment Culture and Public Participation" held on December 8 in Beijing.

Pan Yue, vice-minister of State Environmental Protection Administration pointed out at the seminar that to bring the function of non-governmental organizations for environment protection into full play is an important, and also a direct way, in advancing environmental protection, and for public participation in social affairs.

Sources say that China will, hopefully in two years, establish a nationwide cooperation network for environmental protection including all legal non-governmental organizations and volunteers for environmental protection. With this network, non-governmental environmental protection organizations and volunteers will receive every year periodic business training and specialized directives in batches. China will ensure the success of the Green China Forum and make the forum as often as possible, standardized and internationalized. The network will promote the brand of "Green China" and introduce environmental ideas and environment culture to the society via this platform. In addition, non-governmental organizations and volunteers for environmental protection will be organized to accumulate environment information and hand in constructive proposals to governmental departments concerned.
