We all know that photogenic sea creatures like dolphins, whales and turtles need protecting, but at Greenpeace we don’t discriminate based on looks. There are countless species of fish in the seas that wouldn’t make the front of a postcard, but are still critically endangered, and we are working to protect them all.
Greenpeace was started in 1971 by a small group of Canadian activists who sailed to Alaska in an old fishing boat to bear witness the US underground nuclear testing. Tirelessly campaigning in 40 countries across the globe, Greenpeace has 2.8 million supporters worldwide, 221,000 followers in the UK alone. Greenpeace use research, technology and diplomacy to pursue its goal for a healthier planet.
