A site with an interactive map showing the richest and most threatened reservoirs of plant and animal life on earth
Lots of interactive maps and resources about diversity in the UK
CLIMATE CHANGE
A complete listing of the articles in "How to Talk to a Climate Skeptic," a series by Coby Beck containing responses to the most common skeptical arguments on global warming.
there's just no substitute for taking a deep breath and plowing through the original reports at the IPCC. Yes, the IPCC reports were watered down by politicians, and the reality is we probably need to move much farther, much faster than the reports suggest, but they are still the closest thing the world has to a scientific consensus on the issues.
Just Do It lifts the lid on climate activism and the daring troublemakers who have crossed the line to become modern-day outlaws. Documented over a year, Emily James' film follows these activists as they blockade factories, attack coal power stations and glue themselves to the trading floors of international banks despite the very real threat of arrest.
PEAK OIL
The Oil Drum seeks to facilitate civil, evidence-based discussions about energy and its impacts on the future of humanity, as well as serve as a leading online knowledge-base for energy-related topics
PowerSwitch was established in Autumn 2004 with the intention of raising awareness and discussion in the UK of the consequences of global oil depletion following the imminent peak in global oil production, and how to deal with it -especially within a context of global warming and sustainability.
The end of oil is closer than you think. Oil production could peak next year, reports John Vidal. Just kiss your lifestyle goodbye
COMMUNITY
We are a not for profit community development organisation that has been working with communities since 1995. We specialise in using social media as a community engagement tool.
We work across the UK and Europe and our goal is establish a movement of community reporters which will develop local voices and distribute local views
EN4M is a collective of groups and organisations working to improve the environment of Manchester, towards the development of a truly sustainable city. Our members are involved in a wide range of activities and issues.
A Transition Initiative (which could be a town, village, university or city etc) is a community-led response to the pressures of Climate Change and Peak Oil.
WATER

Theres lots of ocean related articles and resources on the greenpeace pages here.
The Water Project is a non-profit organization bringing relief to communities around the world who suffer needlessly from a lack of access to clean water and proper sanitation
