　　Environmental Defense 中文称为“美国环保协会”，是著名的美国非政府非赢利性环保组织，目前拥有超过40万名会员。
　　Environmental Defense is a leading national nonprofit organization headquartered in the US, representing more than 400,000 members. 　　
　　Environmental Defense自1967年成立以来，遵循创新、平等和高效的原则，凝聚科学、法律及经济的思想，以及和各种部门建立起的新型合作关系，始终为最紧迫的环境问题提供解决方案。
　　Since its founding in 1967, Environmental Defense has linked science, economics, law and innovative private-sector partnerships to create innovative, equitable, and cost-effective breakthrough solutions to the most serious environmental problems. 　　
　　Environmental Defense致力于人类社会可持续发展的现在和未来。涉及水、大气、海洋、人体健康、食品安全以及生物多样性等诸多领域。相比其他环保组织，Environmental Defense拥有更多的科学家和经济学家，并且越来越多地与公司、政府、社区合作，寻找改善环境同时也能发展经济的共赢之策。
　　Environmental Defense is dedicated to protecting the environmental rights of all people, including future generations. Among these rights are clean air and water, healthy and nourishing food, and a flourishing ecosystem. Enjoying the largest staff of Ph.D. scientists and economists of any environmental advocacy group, we have developed ways to help the environment that actually benefit the economy. Increasingly we work directly with business, government and community groups to forge solutions that make sense for everyone.　　
　　Environmental Defense曾经以有效的工作推动了废除DDT法令的颁布，从而开创了美国近代环保运动的先河；Environmental Defense积极倡导市场手段在解决环境问题中的应用，例如臭氧层破坏、酸雨和城市光化学烟雾污染等。Environmental Defense提出的排污权交易概念成为《京都议定书》的核心思想；世界最大企业中的８个与Environmental Defense合作，自愿削减他们的温室气体排放；Environmental Defense 成功地说服了麦当劳停止使用泡沫塑料汉堡包盒子；减少动物食品中抗生素的使用；以及帮助联邦快递公司（FedEx）引入燃料利用率提高了50％以上的新型递送卡车。这些成就展示了Environmental Defense如何综合利用科学、法律和经济的手段推动环境保护思想的变革。
　　In the past, Environmental Defense helped launch the modern environmental movement by winning a ban on the persistent pesticide DDT. Environmental Defense has also had very broad experience in the creation of market-based instruments for solutions to a range of environmental problems, such as stratospheric ozone depletion, acid rain and urban smog. Our emissions trading concept has become the centerpiece of the Kyoto Protocol. In addition, eight of the world's largest corporations have joined with Environmental Defense in making commitments to reduce their own emissions of greenhouse gases. We also persuaded McDonald's to replace bulky foam-plastic hamburger boxes, helped curb antibiotic use in animals for food production, and helped FedEx develop a delivery truck that is 50% more fuel-efficient. These achievements illustrate how Environmental Defense uses science, law, and economics to bring about social reform for environmental protection.
　　Environmental Defense以科学研究为基础深入探讨环境领域中的重大课题，倡导得到广泛持久的政治、经济和社会支持的解决方案。这得益于Environmental Defense始终保持的非政治、有效和公正的立场。
　　Guided by science, Environmental Defense evaluates environmental problems and works to create and advocate solutions that win lasting political, economic and social support because they are nonpartisan, cost-effective and fair.
　　Environmental Defense坚信，一个可以持续发展的自然环境，必须以平等公正的经济社会环境为前提。Environmental Defense所致力追求的环境权益属于全球所有人类，不分贫富也无论肤色种族。
　　Environmental Defense believes that a sustainable environment requires economic and social systems that are equitable and just. The environmental rights pursued are the rights of all human beings, regardless of race or class.
