Amazing achievements you’ve made possible
We don’t just save the whales – we do a lot more! Your support has led to these massive victories recently:
Oceans
In March 2023, a historic UN Ocean Treaty was agreed, after almost 2 decades of negotiations. It’s the first step towards ocean protection on a global level.
Agriculture
In 2024, Greenpeace sued Fonterra for claims that Anchor Butter is “100% New Zealand grass-fed”, when up to 20% can be palm kernel. They removed the label – but palm kernel is linked to deforestation in South East Asia
Seabed mining
Trans Tasman Resources has tried to mine the seabed in the South Taranaki Bight for over 10 years, but fierce opposition has stopped them at every turn
Where your donations go
When you donate to Greenpeace Aotearoa, you’re helping to protect the environment, and create a sustainable future. Every dollar you give supports movements that tackle urgent environmental issues, and protect our natural world.
We’re committed to spending your donations wisely. We make sure your donations are creating maximum impact for nature where it is most needed, both in Aotearoa and around the world.
We couldn’t do our work without you, so we always treat you – and your donations – with respect and appreciation.
What you’ve achieved already
Greenpeace has been campaigning for the planet since 1971. Below are just a few historic projects that resulted in major wins for the planet.
You’re part of a global movement
Greenpeace is comprised of dozens of independent national or regional organisations in over 55 countries across Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and the Pacific, as well as a co-ordinating body, Greenpeace International. And around the world, there are millions of supporters like you, who have a vision of a green and peaceful future.
This global presence means Greenpeace can work directly with communities on the frontlines as they protect the environments they call home, as well as coordinate globally on campaigns for the planet.
Thank you for all that you do 💚
Greenpeace is 100% independent. We rely on donations from people like you, people who care about protecting the planet.
It’s only because of your support that we can build a green and peaceful future. Thank you.
