Greenpeace exists because this fragile earth deserves a voice. It needs solutions. It needs change. It needs action.
Greenpeace are an independent non-profit global campaigning organisation that uses non-violent, creative confrontation to expose global environmental problems and their causes. Greenpeace research solutions and alternatives to help provide a path for a green and peaceful future.
Greenpeace are campaigning to:
- Protect the worlds ancient forests from destructive industrial logging.
- To protect the worlds oceans from wasteful and destructive fishing practices.
- Phase out fosil fuels and promote the renewable energy alternatives like wind power. |
Climate change
Already 150,000 people a year die as a result of climate change and the problem is getting worse. The solution to climate change exists today. By reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and adopting renewable energy alternatives like wind power, we can reverse the worst effects of climate change. Greenpeace is working against some of the most powerful governments and companies who are blocking action to ensure they take the necessary steps to protect our climate.

Preserving ancient forests
Throughout the world ancient forests are in crisis. 80% of the worlds ancient forests have already been destroyed or degraded. Industrial and often illegal logging is still destroying an area of ancient forest the size of a football pitch every two seconds. Many of the plants and animals that live in these forests face extinction. And many of the peoples and cultures who depend on these forests for their way of life are also under threat.

Protecting the worlds oceans
Our oceans and the life they sustain are under threat from industrial fishing practices. Almost a quarter of all creatures caught in fisheries worldwide are thrown back either dead or dying, bottom trawling is destroying ocean seabeds and wiping out entire ecosystems, pair trawling is killing dolphins in their thousands and up to 78% of the worlds fisheries are either fully exploited, over exploited or significantly depleted.

Greenpeace's independence is crucial to their work so they will never accept money from companies or political organisations. That’s why they need the support of individuals to continue their work protecting and preserving the worlds environment.
