Greenpeace
An international environmental organization founded in Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada in 1971. Greenpeace is known for its use of campaigns to
stop atmospheric and underground nuclear testing as well as bring an end
to high seas whaling. In later years, the focus of the organisation turned
to other environmental issues, including bottom trawling, global warming,
ancient forest destruction, and genetic
engineering. Greenpeace has national and regional offices in 41 countries
worldwide, all of which have affiliation with the Amsterdam-based Greenpeace
International.
