Greenpeace have joined as official supporters of Rocking the Daisies. Greenpeace is an independent global campaigning organization that acts to change attitudes and behavior, to protect and conserve the environment and to promote peace. They will be promoting their exciting initiatives within this years Greenhouse at the festival. Africans know the threats facing their environment are real and critical. Whether it’s climate change, destruction of forests or the stripping of life from the oceans, Africa’s natural resources and biodiversity need to be protected from over-exploitation and devastation.

Greenpeace has been working in Africa to end environmental destruction and fighting for the right of Africans to a healthy environment since the early 1990s. From campaigning to end destructive logging in the unique Congo Basin rainforest to working to stop the plunder from the bountiful waters of West Africa by industrialized nations’ fishing fleets and pirate fishing.

Greenpeace brings to Africa a long tradition of empowering people, expertise, and environmental action to achieve sustainable change. Working in partnership with local organizations, we hope to give Africans a stronger voice by channeling African ideas, expertise and leadership internationally and create truly global solutions for a greener future.

By opening offices in South Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Senegal, Greenpeace is at the heart of areas pivotal to challenging some of the most urgent environmental problems facing Africa today.
