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.

The latest update on the state of New Zealand’s environment paints a concerning outlook for marine environments, especially amid the increasing push to use the marine estate for economic gain. But many shallow coastal ecosystems remain largely unexplored. As our latest fieldwork shows, many of these areas are hotspots for protected species, but are largely unprotected from human impacts.
