Greenpeace
Greenpeace is a non-governmental environmental organization with offices in over forty countries and with an international coordinating body in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Greenpeace states its goal is to "ensure the ability of the Earth to nurture life in all its diversity" and focuses its campaigning on worldwide issues such as climate change, deforestation, overfishing, commercial whaling, genetic engineering, and anti-nuclear issues. It uses direct action, lobbying, and research to achieve its goals. The global organization does not accept funding from governments, corporations, or political parties, relying on 2.9 million individual supporters and foundation grants.〔(Greenpeace, Annual Report 2011 ) (pdf)〕 Greenpeace has a general consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council and is a founding member of the INGO Accountability Charter; an international non-governmental organization that intends to foster accountability and transparency of non-governmental organizations.
Greenpeace is known for its direct actions and has been described as the most visible environmental organization in the world.〔(Henry Mintzberg & Frances Westley – Sustaining the Institutional Environment )''BNET.com''〕〔(Canada: A People's History – Greenpeace ) ''CBC''〕 Greenpeace has raised environmental issues to public knowledge,〔(EU commissioner hails blockade on waste ship )''EUbusiness'', 28 September 2006〕〔Marc Mormont & Christine Dasnoy; Source strategies and the mediatization of climate change. ''Media, Culture & Society'', Vol. 17, No. 1, 49–64 (1995)〕 and influenced both the private and the public sector.〔(Adidas, Clarks, Nike and Timberland agree moratorium on illegal Amazon leather ) ''Telegraph'', 4 August 2009〕 Greenpeace has also been a source of controversy; its motives and methods (some of the latter being illegal) have received criticism〔 and the organization's direct actions have sparked legal actions against Greenpeace activists, such as fines and suspended sentences for destroying a test plot of GMO wheat〔(GMO crops vandalized in Oregon ), Karl Haro von Mogel, Biology Fortified, 24 June 2013.〕 and damaging the Nazca Lines, a UN World Heritage site in Peru.
