Greenpeace

Greenpeace exists because this fragile earth deserves a voice. It needs solutions. It needs change. It needs action.
Greenpeace is a non-profit organisation, with a presence in 40 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific.

To maintain its independence, Greenpeace does not accept donations from governments or corporations but relies on contributions from individual supporters and foundation grants.

As a global organisation, Greenpeace focuses on the most crucial worldwide threats to our planet's biodiversity and environment.

We campaign to:--Stop climate change --Protect ancient forests--Save the oceans --Stop whaling --Say no to genetic engineering--Stop the nuclear threat--Eliminate toxic chemicals --Encourage sustainable trade

Similar initiatives around the world

Similar initiatives exist in Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, Canada and Australia and some of these parties contested in local or national elections. The German 'Partei Mensch Umwelt Tierschutz' (or 'Animal Protection') was already founded in 1993 as a political splinter party. In Australia a coalition of animal groups started the 'Ban Live Exports Party' in January 2004 to support the ongoing campaign against the export of sheep to the Middle East. They focused on marginal political seats, but did not expect to win any of these seats themselves. Instead they applied pressure to the dominant Labour Party to improve its position on live exports or risk losing key seats, using the Australian system of preferential voting.
