Greenpeace has been peacefully defending the planet since 1971 . By bringing together activists, supporters and people just like you, we have played a pivotal role in big wins for the environment.
Today, our fight to save the planet has grown more serious than ever. The threat of global warming, destruction of ancient forests, deterioration of our oceans, and the threat of a nuclear disaster loom large. Greenpeace is actively working to address these and other threats. And we need your help!

We were founded in 1971 by a handful of determined activists whose mission was to protest U.S. nuclear testing off the coast of Alaska with a brave act of defiance: to place themselves in harm’s way. They leased a small fishing vessel called the Phyllis Cormack and set sail from Vancouver for Amchitka Island in Alaska.
Despite being intercepted by the U.S. Coast Guard, these daring activists sailed into history by bringing worldwide attention to the dangers of nuclear testing.
