GreenpeaceOriginally created to save whale populations from near-complete decimation, Greenpeace has become another of the world's best known environmental organization. Today they have expanded their activities to confront global warming, pollution, mining, public health, deforestation, and a wide range of other environmental threats. Like the Sierra Club, they are one of the most visible and successful such organizations in the world. In fact, today the name Greenpeace is almost synonymous with global environmentalism. It goes without saying that they are even more hated then the Sierra Club by polluting industries and the Far-Right—so much so that many Greenpeace workers have been targeted with violence by conservative extremists in some areas. Greenpeace representatives often risk their own safety, and on occasion even their lives when working in areas where Wise-Use and other Far-Right zealots are well entrenched.
