An environmental organization is an organization coming out of the conservation or environmental movements that seeks to protect, analyse or monitor the environment against misuse or degradation from human forces. In this sense the environment may refer to the biophysical environment or the natural environment.

The revenue of these organizations is used to achieve their goals rather than distributing them as profit or dividends. [1] [2]
