Abstract

Grassroots community groups which focused on and ENGO which focused on ecological protection are the two pillars of China's environmental contention. Analysis on the "Asuwei event "started by "Aobei volunteer group" in 2009 and Led by "Natural University" in 2015, it shows that there are significant differences exist in organizational structure, protest targets, action strategies, social influence etc. Two organizations at this stage has not yet formed an organic alliance. It is necessary to promote their positive interaction in order to give support to the shape of common environmental issues, the improvement of environmental policy and the build of participation network of environmental protection.
