Greenpeace and the Protection of the World's Endangered Species


I have had the personal experience of working for Greenpeace as a young woman and going on a trip with members from Greenpeace on a trip to the Baja Penninsula to watch the Gray whales make and have babies. I must admit it is one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I believe that the support of environmental agencies is critical in this day and age at the rate in which both the environment and amazing animal species within those environments are being destroyed. It is tragic to think that my grandchildren will never have the opportunity to touch a Gray whale or at this rate even see a Panda bear, Mountain gorilla or Blue Whale. If we do not "wake up" as Melissa Etheridge calls us to do in her song "Inconvenient Truth" there will be little left for the generations coming after us.
