Greenpeace, with over 2.9 million supporters worldwide, six ships and a presence in 40 countries, is a truly international organisation putting green and peace issues on the global agenda.
The group lobby and cajole those who can take the decisions to change things for the better, and when the most effective course is intervening with non-violent, direct action, they believe in taking it.
Issues that Greenpeace has campaigned against in the past include:-
* defending the Southern Ocean from commercial whaling;
* demonstrating against clearcutting of ancient forests in Canada;
* protesting at trade in toxic waste to Latin America;
