Greenpeace stamps are a series of postage stamps issued by various countries to commemorate and support the work of Greenpeace, the international environmental organization. These stamps often feature themes related to environmental protection, climate action, wildlife conservation, and sustainable practices.
Greenpeace, founded in 1971, is known for its direct-action campaigns to protect the environment, focusing on issues such as climate change, deforestation, overfishing, toxic pollution, and nuclear threats. The organization operates in over 55 countries and is funded primarily by individual supporters.
The stamps honoring Greenpeace can include various designs:
- Images of endangered species (whales, polar bears, rainforest animals)
- Scenes of environmental activism (Greenpeace ships, protests)
- Symbols of renewable energy (wind turbines, solar panels)
- Depictions of threats to the environment (oil spills, deforestation)
These stamps serve multiple purposes:
- Raising awareness about environmental issues
- Generating funds for Greenpeace’s activities (some countries donate a portion of the stamp’s cost)
- Recognizing Greenpeace’s contributions to global environmental protection
Countries that have issued such stamps include Canada (where Greenpeace was founded), Netherlands, and several others. However, as an AI with knowledge cutoff in August 2023, I may not have information on the most recent Greenpeace stamp issues. For the latest information, you might want to check with national postal services or philatelic societies.
