Green Peace

 Green Peace--an international organisation dedicating work to preserve endangered species of animals. The 'Green Peace' helps prevent abuse of environments, increasing environmental awareness, at times confronting corporations as well as bodies of governments. The organisation was founded in the year of 1971 in British Colombia in opposition to the  U.S. nuclear testing at Amchitka Island in Alaska. Quickly gathering support from many other ecologically-minded individuals who agrees to the goals and views of the said organisation. From such a point, it has begun to muster aid from many; helping to mobilize the public's opinion.

Since the creation of the organisation, it has set countless campaigns in response to the practices which puts the environment as well as certain species in danger. Seeking the protection of seals and whales from hunting, ceasing the discard of toxic wastes into the ocean; bringing an end to the usage of parts of the sea as nuclear testing sites. Through the decades of campaigns, missions and goals they have had several successes with their changes. the organisation has created many great impacts on many nations that alone many governments were not able to achieve. 

Examples include as quoted: 2016: 

• 2011: After the release of Greenpeace’s Dirty Laundry report, major clothing brands commit to eliminating discharges of hazardous chemicals from across their entire supply chains and products within 10 years.
• After decades of campaign work, 85% of the forested area of the Great Bear Rainforest in B.C. is protected from industrial logging.
• 2016: After three years of tireless legal action, Clyde River Inuit – with the support of Greenpeace Canada – stopped seismic blasting – a dangerous oil exploration project that threatens the Canadian Arctic.

Continuing on the protection of the environment 'Green Peace' campaigns to end the flow of single-use plastic in our oceans. Confronting several big corporations to halt such plastic packaging. Working also on several serious threats that our oceans face through unsustainable fishing and the destruction of underwater habitats. The organisation has worked in the protection of oceans through sanctuaries. With a goal to protect the world's ocean which currently only has 2% protected. By 2030 they aim to protect 30% of the world's oceans. As quoted from the organisation "Scientists have a new rescue plan for our oceans: a global network of ocean sanctuaries that would put millions of square miles off limits to destructive industries. But to make that happen, governments must agree a strong Global Ocean Treaty at the United Nations. To do that, we need as many people as possible to show these decision-makers why ocean protection matters."
