About Greenpeace Malaysia<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Greenpeace is a movement of people who are passionate about defending the natural world from destruction. Our vision is a greener, healthier and more peaceful planet, one that can sustain life for generations to come. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We are independent. We don\u2019t accept any funding from governments, corporations or political parties \u2013 our work is funded by ordinary people. That means we are free to confront governments and corporations responsible for the destruction of the natural world and push for real change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do this by investigating, documenting and exposing the causes of environmental destruction. We work to bring about change by lobbying, consumer pressure and mobilising members of the general public. And we take peaceful direct action to protect our Earth and promote solutions for a green and peaceful future. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\"Expedition
Greenpeace Brazil and Greenpeace Germany carried out an expedition to Chapada do Apodi, in the Jaguaribe Valley, Cear\u00e1, Brazil to portray the impacts of agribusiness and highlight the struggle of the local population. The region gave rise to the “Z\u00e9 Maria do Tom\u00e9” law, the first in the country to prohibit the aerial spraying of pesticides (“poison rain”) and which bears the name of an activist murdered in 2010 for defending family and agroecological agriculture.\nBanana plantation at the Z\u00e9 Maria do Tom\u00e9 camp, in Chapada do Apodi (CE), municipality of Limoeiro do Norte.<\/figcaption>

Greenpeace was founded in 1971<\/a> by a small group of concerned individuals, who set sail to Amchitka island off the coast of Alaska to try and stop a US nuclear weapons test. Their old fishing boat was called \u201cThe Greenpeace\u201d. Today, Greenpeace is present in over 40 countries around the world. Our movement is growing every day and our commitment to realising our vision is as strong as ever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We find ourselves at a pivotal point in human history now. Climate change is rapidly accelerating and we are feeling the effects of it ever more \u2013 in the changes to our air, sea levels and more extreme weather events. The need to act to protect our planet has never been so urgent, yet governments and corporations are still dragging their feet. Our mission is to promote radical changes and new solutions to the ways we live on this planet so that we can all call it home for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The History of Greenpeace Malaysia in Southeast Asia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since 2000, Greenpeace has been a driving force in protecting Southeast Asia\u2019s environment from climate change, deforestation, and pollution. Through bold campaigns and people-powered actions, we\u2019ve made progress across the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launched in 2017, Greenpeace Malaysia is the fourth office in the region. Despite being the newest, we\u2019ve helped stop illegal plastic waste imports, halted destructive logging, and pushed back against incinerators and coal plants. Our work also champions forest protection and clean, renewable energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Backed by two decades of investigations, science, and direct action, we continue to challenge polluters and drive change for a greener, fairer future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
