In recent years, human beings created the material wealth rapidly, the quality of life has been greatly improved, but humanity's livelihood environment actually rapidly worsened. The colony event caused by the environment question increase year by year. The impact on the environment is becoming an important factor to the crisis China's social stability. Therefore, the issue of environmental protection received by the whole society's consistent attention. People have to explore solutions to environmental problems in effective way. Generally speaking, the way of solution depends on three ways: government, the market organizations, social. However, the Government often "failure", the market organization will not do unprofitable things, the best solution can only come from society, and society is the most effective way to environmental non-governmental organizations.In 1980s or 1990s, after the Cold War , the acceleration of the process of globalization and the further development of communication technology, environmental non-governmental organizations rise rapidly as an important political forces to the field of environment and development ,and promote the environment to the development of a deeper level. In contrast , the theory of non-governmental organizations in the study also are relatively stagnant immature in domestic and international .The non-governmental organizations also view some of the basic inconsistencies. The research of the status or role of non-governmental organizations in the Environmental Protection is relatively lack. In addition, researchers prefer a general description of non-governmental organizations in environmental protection role. It needs to specialized case studies and theoretical analysis to a better understanding of non-governmental organizations. The purpose of this paper is in-depth analysis of its role in environmental protection. It is necessary to the multi-roles participate in the environment question. This paper hopes to promote the research of non-governmental organizations in China. The practical significance of this paper analysis the role of non-governmental organizations in environmental protection to develop and improve of China's environmental non-governmental organizations, It solve the increasingly serious environmental and ecological problems by comprehensive mobilization of all sectors of society and the strength of the enthusiasm. It is of great significance to the implementation of the scientific concept of development, building a harmonious society, the realization of economic, social and environmental development.This paper uses the theory of new social movement to analyze the role of non-governmental organizations in the "Southwest hydropower development "as well as the mobilization of resources from the sociologist's point of view. It may obtain the following enlightenment through the contrast: The non-governmental organizations of China begin to enter the stage of cooperation. Resource mobilization capability has been markedly strengthened. The media is the mobilization of key resources of non-governmental organizations. Non-governmental organizations in environmental protection have been showing signs of organization, but do not have a strong specialization, the lack of institutionalization of an enabling environment. Similar historical events have very different result because the involvement of the non-governmental organizations.What is the important role of non-governmental organizations in the protection of the environment? First, the environmental non-governmental organization activities varied. It closes to the public and is familiar with the public, thus it easily found environmental problems. China's environmental non-governmental organizations expose various forms of environmental pollution and destruction of the ecosystem in all sectors of society .It prompted the Government to speed up the process of solving these environmental problems. Secondly, the environmental non-governmental organizations take up supervisors and the promotion of the social roles in the national policy on the environment by their own popular base, expertise and communication channels. For the Government, the pressure of public opinion is the impact of the most important environmental decision-making factor. Chinese environmental non-governmental organization's activities are not mandatory as Western radical. It impacts environmental issues through scientific research reports, and professional policy advice. It use all legitimate channels for the importation of political pressure on the Government's decision-making of the environment, and promote the environmental policy adjustments, the environmental rights and social welfare resources in a more rational allocation. Thirdly, the formulation of public policies needs detailed and reliable information. The government has the macroscopic information; Non-governmental organizations have all the information at the micro level. They can complement each other. Finally, it can serve as a bridge between the parties concerned in the field of environment. The strength of environmental non-governmental organizations lies in its ability to prevent all kinds of resources and the forces polymerization. Environmental non-governmental organizations established links among the government, experts, and media through the extensive network.Environmental Protection requires all aspects of society and promotes the involvement of the common. Governmental organizations, as the main solution to an environmental problem, which plays a great role in the environmental Protection .But it is not enough to rely solely on the strength of the Government to solve environmental problems. Non-governmental organizations are an important organizational innovation in contemporary human society. It has great potential in promoting environmental protection in China. The author believes that environmental protection is a complex system engineering. It is not only rely on market mechanisms regulate, but also rely on government intervention. In addition, it also need the non-governmental Their cooperationcan effectively protect our environment.
