I've mentioned before about how I love wandering through the Greenpeace photo library (it's on a big server, so any wandering is purely figurative) - there's always just one more enticing folder to explore. And it's hardly surprising, when our campaign work takes photographers to some stunning locations and places them at the heart of the action. Some have even won major international awards for their work, both with Greenpeace and independently.
And yet, for a long time we've felt that here on our website we haven't been making as much of this archive as we could have been and despite having this fantastic asset at our fingertips, usually it's only at the top of the story that you'll find a hard-hitting, thrilling or spellbinding photo. Other Greenpeace offices have been doing this for a long time but for some reason, here in the UK we've just never got it together.
To remedy this, we've been working on the first in an ongoing series of slideshows which will feature the latest images sent back by Greenpeace photographers around the world, as well as some of the gems hidden away in the vaults. The full index lives on our main slideshows page, and highlights will be appearing here on the blog. Both Daphne and Angela, our dynamic duo of picture editors, have been working hard on this, as has the diligent Andrea who has been giving up her free time to edit them.
As a taster, here's a set from the recent illegal timber blockade in Papua New Guinea including some of the images taken to document the ongoing devastation of the forests in the region.
