Greenpeace is advocating our Energy [R]evolution campaign at the grassroots level, using solar panels to power a World Cup public viewing area for the village of Jericho in South Africa. Greenpeace Africa has trained 15 teenagers to install the solar panels, which will be donated to the local school after the event.

World Oceans Day
– 365 days a year
June 8th was World Oceans Day, but there wasn't much to celebrate. Overfishing of species like bluefin tuna is rife. Increasing carbon dioxide levels are changing the oceans' chemistry. Whales have few safe havens and their defenders are being prosecuted. We're working to change this, the oceans need our help every day.

Great Bear Rainforest key species:
the grizzly bear
Of the many animals of the Great Bear Rainforest, the grizzly bear is one of the most iconic, evocative of the wildness and abundance of life found within this special place. Grizzlies require a wide range of habitats, so by protecting grizzly bears an ‘umbrella of protection’ is provided to countless other species in the Great Bear Rainforest.
