Greenpeace is an independent global campaigning organisation that acts to change attitudes and behaviour, to protect and conserve the environment and to promote peace.

Greenpeace is present in more than 55 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa 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.

Greenpeace has been campaigning against environmental degradation since 1971 when a small boat of volunteers and journalists sailed into Amchitka, an area north of Alaska where the US Government was conducting underground nuclear tests. This tradition of ‘bearing witness’ in a non-violent manner continues today, and our ships are an important part of all our campaign work.

We exist to expose environmental criminals, and to challenge government and corporations when they fail to live up to their mandate to safeguard our environment and our future.

Greenpeace Germany was founded in 1980. Its first campaigns worked to protect whales and seals, and bring public attention to the chemical pollution of the environment caused by the ocean dumping of dilute acid and toxic waste incineration in the North Sea. Spectacular actions made headlines and received a great deal of attention from the German media. This enabled Greenpeace to put pressure on environmental polluters, and the organization quickly achieved early success which gave a wide recognition. It gained more and more supporters and donors. Today, Greenpeace has about 580 000 donating supporters in Germany alone.
