At this moment, Greenpeace campaigners are working tirelessly around the globe, monitoring governments and industry, researching solutions, blocking dangerous practices, doing whatever it takes to protect our planet’s life-giving resources.

In order to fulfill our mandate in Canada and around the world, Greenpeace works on the following environmental campaigns:

More than 80 per cent of the world’s ancient forests has been destroyed, and the forests that remain are threatened by logging. Greenpeace is working tirelessly to stop the destruction of the world’s remaining temperate rainforests and is committed to developing sustainable solutions in British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest.

Our efforts include working to phase out fossil fuels while pointing the way to clean energy solutions that do not damage the climate, such as solar and wind power.
