Greenpeace, one of the world’s most
respected and dynamic organizations, is an international non-profit global
campaigning organization that acts to ensure the ability of Earth to nurture
life in all its diversity. At the heart
of Greenpeace’s campaigns is the tradition of non-violent, direct action
against environmental abuse and destruction.
Greenpeace exists
because this fragile earth deserves a voice. It needs solutions. It needs
change. It needs action.
Greenpeace acts
to change attitudes and behavior, to protect and conserve the environment and
to promote peace by:
- Catalyzing an energy revolution to address the number one threat facing our planet: climate change.
- Defending our oceans by challenging wasteful and destructive fishing, and creating a global network of marine reserves.
- Protecting the world's ancient forests and the animals, plants and people that depend on them.
- Creating a toxic free future with safer alternatives to hazardous chemicals in today's products and manufacturing.
- Campaigning for sustainable agriculture by rejecting genetically engineered organisms, protecting biodiversity and encouraging socially responsible farming.
Greenpeace is
present in 40 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and the
Pacific.
To maintain our
independence, Greenpeace does not accept donations from governments or
corporations but relies on contributions from individual supporters and
foundation grants.
For
over 40 years, Greenpeace has been successful in our campaigns to reverse environmental
degradation by bearing witness to environmental destruction and exposing and
confronting environmental abuse. Greenpeace campaigns have been vital in informing
government policies on the environment and effecting changes in business
practices which lead to various environmental problems.
Greenpeace in Southeast Asia
Greenpeace
opened our first office in Southeast Asia in 2000. In that time we have led
successful campaigns throughout the region, securing fresher air, cleaner water
and a healthier environment through changing industry practices and government
policies. Greenpeace actively campaigns across the region to catalyze an energy
revolution, protect ancient forests and our oceans, create a toxics-free future
and create a shift to sustainable agriculture.

has three offices in Southeast Asia (GPSEA) —in Thailand, Indonesia and the
Philippines and each office is currently composed of six departments: Campaigns,
