Greenpeace is a global organisation that uses non-violent direct
action to tackle the most crucial threats to our planet’s biodiversity
and environment. Greenpeace is a non-profit organisation, present
in 40 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific.
It speaks for 2.8 million supporters worldwide, and inspires many
millions more to take action every day.To maintain its
independence, Greenpeace does not accept donations from
governments or corporations but relies on contributions from
individual supporters and foundation grants.
Greenpeace has been campaigning against environmental
degradation since 1971 when a small boat of volunteers and
journalists sailed into Amchitka, an area west of Alaska, where the
US Government was conducting underground nuclear tests.This
tradition of ‘bearing witness’ in a non-violent manner continues
today, and ships are an important part of all its campaign work.
