In 1971 a small team of activists set sail from Vancouver, Canada, in an old fishing boat. These activists, the founders of Greenpeace, believed a few individuals could make a difference.

Their mission was to «bear witness» to the US underground nuclear testing at Amchitka, a small island off the West Coast of Alaska.

Amchitka was the last refuge for 3000 endangered sea otters, and home to bald eagles, falcons and other wildlife.

The US still detonated the bomb, but the voice of reason had been heard. Nuclear testing on Amchitka ended the same year, and the island was later declared a bird sanctuary. 

Today, Greenpeace is an international ecological organization that has 2.8 million supporters worldwide, and national as well as regional offices in 41 countries. Its headquarters are based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. 

Greenpeace is a non-profit organization and nongovernmental. It unites people of different colors living in different continents and speaking different languages. The common mission of this organization is preserving life on the earth in its full variety.

Greenpeace does not support any political party. Nevertheless, its members carry on a dialogue with all political forces and struggle for approving and passing laws for the welfare of our environment.

Greenpeace focuses on the most terrible worldwide threats to our planet's environment. It campaigns to stop climate change, save the oceans, say no to genetic engineering, stop the nuclear threat, clear toxic chemicals. 

The goal of Greenpeace is to expose environmental criminals and to challenge government and corporations.
