Greenpeace

Greenpeace is a global environmental organization that operates in more than 40 countries, with its main headquarters located in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Established in 1971 by environmental activists Irving Stowe and Dorothy Stowe, who were originally from Canada and the US, Greenpeace aims to "ensure the ability of the Earth to nurture life in all its diversity." The organization focuses on critical global issues, including climate change, deforestation, overfishing, commercial whaling, genetic engineering, and nuclear safety. To achieve its objectives, Greenpeace employs strategies such as direct action, lobbying, research, and ecotage. Unlike many organizations, Greenpeace does not accept donations from governments, corporations, or political entities; instead, it is supported by 2.9 million individual donors and foundation grants. The organization holds general consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council and is a founding member of the INGO Accountability Charter, which promotes transparency and accountability among non-governmental organizations.

A hostile takeover of nature by a former tobacco lobbyist: What you need to know about the Government’s RMA reforms

3 weeks ago | greenpeace.org | Nick Young

Last week, the National-led Government announced plans to rewrite the laws that protect our environment – putting private property rights ahead of the health of nature and our communities. They plan to scrap the Resource Management Act (RMA) – New Zealand’s core environmental law – and replace it with legislation that gives corporations more freedom to pollute and exploit as long as they own the land.
