Greenpeace Foundation exists to take positive, well-researched Direct Action to solve environmental crises. Greenpeace Foundation's main focus is saving whales, dolphins, and other threatened marine species from ill-advised human activities; and protecting the global ocean ecosystem. The Greenpeace Foundation currently has several campaigns in progress - strong efforts to save our damaged seas. Find out more about our campaigns, listed below, and get involved! Dolphin-safe Campaign To prevent widespread sale of dolphin-deadly tuna mis-labeled as "dolphin safe" in the USA and worldwide. Dolphins are still dying in tuna nets. The campaign for a dolphin-safe tuna fishery, which Greenpeace Foundation has worked on as a core issue since 1976, is not permanently won. Dolphins are still dying in tuna nets, due to a U.S. bailout of dolphin-killing nations, and U.S. legislation which gutted U.S. dolphin-protection law and would fraudulently re-define the term "dolphin safe." Anti-Whaling Campaign To end whaling worldwide Whales are incredible, intelligent animals whose numbers have been cruelly decimated by industrial whaling. Greenpeace Foundation is dedicated to an end to all whaling. It was a founder of the global anti-whaling movement, and has worked for three decades in this cause, seeking out, uncovering, and exposing the reality, cruelty - and often illegality - of whaling. Much has been accomplished, but the whales aren't saved yet. The japan dolphin kill campaign. To stop the killing of dolphins for sale in Japan's marketplace. Greenpeace Foundation originally helped define the Japan dolphin-saving issue for the world. Now we are working to end "drive kills" and "harpoon fisheries". We're also investigating to expose and end the growing practice of selling dolphin as "whale meat", which defrauds the Japanese consumer, creates a lucrative black market, and encourages international trade in dead dolphins. The photos associated with this campaign are distressing. Discretion should be used when viewing them. Driftnet Campaign To end driftnetting worldwide. Driftnetting is the most destructive form of fishing ever devised. 40-mile-long nets are laid in a straight line, 50 feet deep. Laid perpendicular to fish and marine animal migrations, they float like invisible unbreakable spider webs, catching everything which cannot swim through a mesh size as small as 4". Driftnets can strip-mine the life out of an area in only a few seasons, leaving a lifeless watery desert. Greenpeace Foundation created the fight to ban them, a fight still in progress to save whales, seals, dolphins, seabirds, turtles, and hundreds of other species - including the overfished "target" fish species. Monk Seal Campaign To prevent the extinction of the Monk Seal. The most endangered seal species on earth - actually an endangered genus - is the Monk Seal. All global populations are now considered extinct except for fragile populations based on remote isles in the North Pacific and in caves in the Mediterranean. Although living in remote areas, their populations have been brought to the threshold of extinction by man's activities. We're working to help them survive.
