The NGOs (Non Governmental Organizations) are entities directed toward the defense of the citizenship, legally constituted under the form of association or foundation. It is a subgroup of the third sector formed by entities with a nonprofit orientation, in function of a collective good and non governmental association or link. The NGOs can have diverse purposes, amongst them, the protection to the environment. The NGOs acting on the environmental areas have been extremely important for the improvement and evolution of the environmental management in Brazil, however, they lack a proper internal management on its own. This study had the objective of describing and analyzing the organizational management and performance of NGOs from the Minas Gerais state that focus their work on environmental conservation. More specifically, it was intended to describe the NGOs internal management components (human resources, partnerships, objectives, scope of work, legal actions and leadership profile), to analyze the NGOs internal development, to know and qualify the volunteer work offered by the NGOs, identifying its contribution towards environmental protection and to know the individual and collective performance of each NGOs as a way to influence the internalization of the externalities. To achieve the proposed goals, this study was based on a forum composed by 78 environmental organizations (NGOs and Governmental Agencies) called Fórum de ONGs Ambientalistas e Poder Público de Minas Gerais . Data was compiled from the forum internal files, from research into the NGOs statutes, activity reports and direct interviews with NGOs staff. The universe of this study was composed by 23% of the forum participants. Results show that during the forum meetings, the main issue discussed was public policies, with emphasis on legislation and nvironmental licensing. The NGOs act collectively, trough the forum, on public policies and, individually, by offering services related to themes like environmental education, research and publications. Both ways of action contribute to the preservation and conservation of natural areas but although the action is diversified, it is also too wide spread. Because of this, it fails to reach significant results, at state level, on the internalization of its externalities. These actions could be maximized trough the improvement of their internal management and organization. As a conclusion, issues involving the increase on staff numbers and a rethinking focused on its leadership authorities could contribute to improve their internal management.
