Greenpeace

Greenpeace acts to change attitudes and behaviour, to protect and conserve the environment and to promote peace by catalysing an energy revolution, defending our oceans and creating a global network of marine reserves, protecting the world’s ancient forests, working for disarmament and peace, creating a toxic free future and supporting sustainable agriculture by encouraging socially and ecologically responsible farming practices.

Greenpeace has played a pivotal role in, among other things, the adoption of:

- A ban on toxic waste exports to less developed countries.

- A moratorium on commercial whaling.

- Bans on the dumping at sea of radioactive and industrial waste and disused oil installations.

- An end to large-scale driftnet fishing.

- A ban on all nuclear testing.
