ABClatino Magazine Year 6 Issue 2 | Page 11

Last September 15th,

the environmental organization Greenpeace celebrated 50 years of history of environmental campaigning around the world. This history began in 1971, when a small group of environmental activists set sail from Vancouver, Canada, in an old fishing boat to Amchitka, a small volcanic island off western Alaska, to protest against nuclear testing by the U.S. military.

Originally, the ship was called Phyllis Cormack, but later renamed Greenpeace, as it brought together two major issues, the survival

of our environment and world peace. 

 

Currently, Greenpeace is present in 54 countries and has thousands of workers, tens of thousands of volunteers, millions of followers and activists in social networks and 3 million individual donors worldwide. 

 

In Latin America, it has offices in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico.  The organization is politically and financially independent, which has allowed it to lead campaigns around

the world and denounce governments and corporations that harm

the environment.
