E-NGOs Participation in Post-disaster Environmental Reconstruction: A case study of Wenchuan Earthquake
From Wenchuan earthquake, one of the worst catastrophes of the century, this paper evaluates E-NGOs functions of environmental reconstruction. E-NGOs are always engaged in spreading knowledge and mobilizing the public, so as to accumulate social capital for environmental reconstruction. Some E-NGOs will assess the environmental impact of the disaster, and undertake ecological programs. In the future, Chinas domestic ENGOs are supposed to accelerate their process of role-transformation from propagator to advocator, and step towards the way of check and balance by means of public participation. E-NGOs should carry out the strategic measures focusing on their responsibility of environmental improvement, and promote the experts and think-tank to provide professional services. What is more, it is significant for E-NGOs to communicate with the government, agencies and try to construct the legal and political environment in favor of E-NGOs development, and thus establish their cooperative relationship.
