2. Introduction
Greenpeace is a non governmental environmental organization. Its goal is to ‘’ensure the ability of the Earth to nature life in all its diversity ‘’and focuses its work on world wide issues such as global warming ,deforestation, overfishing, commercial whaling and anti-nuclear issues. Founded in 1971 to oppose U.S. nuclear testing in Alaska, the organization has fought to protect endangered species, stop the dumping of hazardous waste, and strengthen national and international laws that regulate environmental affairs.

3. Introduction Continues
Greenpeace aims at protecting intact primary forests from deforestation and degradation with the target of zero deforestation by Greenpeace has accused several corporations, such as Unilever, Nike, and McDonald’s having links to the deforestation of the tropical rainforests resulting in policy changes in several of the companies under criticism. Greenpeace, together with other environmental NGOs, also campaigned for ten years for the EU to ban import of illegal timber. The EU decided to ban illegal timber on July 2010. As deforestation contributes to global warming, Greenpeace has demanded that REDD (Reduced Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) should be included in the climate treaty following the Kyoto treaty.

Forests are probably the most important natural heritage, but also the most threatened and preyed upon by human. They get a range of goods and services essential to our survival as food, timber and medicines. Today, thanks to the participation of a million and half people, Greenpeace achieved approval of the forestry law to regulate the use of this resource and stop the indiscriminate deforestation.
