As you can tell from this picture, Greenpeace was created to help protect our world and create a sustainable environment.
Biodiversity is one of the most important global issues in our world today. Many of the problems going on with biodiversity are to blame on humans, but some humans are also the ones trying to make a change to better the living conditions and environment. (1)Biodiversity is an extremely important part of life on Earth. It is not only the variety of living organisms on our planet, but also the interdependence of all these living things, including humans. In order to survive humans have created organizations to help better their living conditions, such as Greenpeace. Greenpeace seeks to: (2) Protect biodiversity in all its forms. Prevent pollution and abuse of the earth's ocean, land, air and fresh water. End all nuclear threats. Promote peace, global disarmament and non-violence. Greenpeace does not accept any donations from corporations and governments because they want to act on the behalf of the planet first and foremost. Greenpeace is known for being the most productive environmental organizations in the world. Greenpeace operates in more than forty countries in the world, with their headquarters in Amsterdam. They average more than 89,000 supporters in Canada, and worldwide 2.9 million members.
Greenpeace honors RONA and many other forest producing companies in their role to protect the Boreal Forest.
Greenpeace has been successful in persuading corporate customers to use environmental- responsible forest products. This is to help protect the Boreal Forest which (3) is the most extensive vegetation zone in Canada and covers significant areas of every province and territory. It is also home to many wildlife animals and several lakes and rivers. (4) In August 2009, the company announced a landmark agreement that ensures greater protection and more sustainable management for the world’s forests, including the Boreal. This agreement is crucial to reversing the continuous destruction and loss of habitats in the Boreal Forest. Greenpeace is very successful in creating a better living condition for wildlife in the Boreal Forest.
Greenpeace, “protect the Great Bear Rainforest keep the promise” banner.
Greenpeace is also involved in the Great Bear Rainforest. They fought to guarantee better and more protection for the Great Bear Rainforest. This is an ongoing project for Greenpeace as they continue to work with the government of B.C. and several other partners to provide the forest’s long term sustainability’s. (5)The ancient Great Bear Rainforest is one of the largest tracts of temperate rainforest left in the world (2 million hectares), and is home to thousands of species of plants, birds and animals.
Thanks to the efforts of Greenpeace the government of British Columbia announced a bond to preserve seventy percent of the Great Bear Rainforest.
Thanks to these efforts of Greenpeace and many more, they were able to find ways of protecting the environment and keeping our world more stable. Greenpeace is a human organization creating a better and more positive effect on our ecosystems.
