Greenpeace was conceived in 1971 in Vancouver, Canada, with the purpose of creating a green and peaceful world. Greenpeace today still adheres to the same principles: to 'bear witness' by drawing attention to an abuse of the environment through their unwavering presence at the scene, whatever the risk, to non-violence and to independence. Greenpeace International is the international coordinating body for the 43 national offices in 30 countries. Presently, its head office is located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
