London / Ushuaia, Argentina, 22 January 2020 - Award-winning actors and marine scientists on board two Greenpeace ships; the Esperanza and the Arctic Sunrise, have arrived in the Antarctic to expose how climate change, plastic pollution and industrial fishing are impacting penguin colonies, whales and other marine life in the region.
Our annual report shows what we have been doing to expose environmental abuse and to champion solutions to transform government, industry and society
Negotiations for the Antarctic Ocean Sanctuary failed this time. But we have a chance to protect the ocean with a new global ocean treaty.

Our annual impact report summarises the work we've done to help protect the natural systems that ensure the long-term health of our planet. This means defending our climate, oceans, forests, soils, atmosphere, and diverse plant and animal life
