The orang-utan gets to have a well-deserved break - thanks to you!

The orang-utan, as well as Indonesia's rainforests and carbon-rich peatlands, finally get to have that break you've been asking Nestlé to give them. Earlier this week the biggest food and drink company in the world announced it was committing to stop using products that come from rainforest destruction.

None of this could have happened without your e-mails, phone calls, tweets, or Facebook status updates! As of now over 1,5 million people have watched our 'Have a break?' Kit Kat ad spoof and over 300.000 people sent e-mails directly to Nestlé.

It's been an amazing two months of campaigning with you - please share this success on Facebook, on Twitter, or any of your other social media profiles!


Facebook needs an intervention

Half a million people have already joined in our efforts to get Facebook to Quit Coal!

We have some mischief coming up - so if you haven't signed up to help Facebook kick its nasty coal habit now is the time:

Join the English group, French group, or Spanish group today!

Whale trial ignores our evidence

All of the names collected so far on our Whale Trial pledge, as well as key evidence of corruption in the Japanese whaling program, were submitted to the Prosecution Inquest Committee (PIC) in Tokyo last month.

They ignored the evidence and more than half a million calls for justice.

Our two whaling activists need your support more than ever. Their trial ends in June and they could face lengthy prison sentences.

Please ask your friends and family members to sign our Whale Trial Pledge.

Where in the world are Greenpeace ships?

The Arctic Ocean: the Esperanza sails north to reinforce the need to protect one of the most pristine and fragile environments on Earth.

The Mediterranean: the Rainbow Warrior is directly confronting one of the most irresponsible and destructive fishing operations in the world. Mediterranean bluefin tuna are being fished to the brink of extinction - a tragic example of oceans and fishery mismanagement.
