PHOTO: Greenpeace activists in Maranhão, Brazil, protest against TOTAL's plans to drill near the Amazon Reef and illustrate the risks of an oil spill in the region. The aim of this action is to raise awareness amongst TOTAL customers about the risks of drilling in such a sensitive area, less than 30 km away from the reef. This global day of action is part of a campaign led by Greenpeace since the Amazon Reef was revealed in 2016 and photographed for the first time this year. An expedition undertaken by the organization in January 2017 with a team of scientists captured the first underwater images of the reef. But there is still so much to discover. According to scientists, only 5% of the reef has been explored.

Compassion and Justice—Together

Greenpeace has been guided by hope, supported by millions of Rainbow Warriors around the world, and inspired by the belief that there are no limits to the good we can do when we work together.

We’ve been charting a course to the brighter future, where we treat one another with respect and dignity. Where we celebrate compassion and justice in the same way we’ve been taught to celebrate strength. We’re not just responsible for ourselves—but for each other.
