Greenpeace came to New Zealand in 1971 when a group of activists, originally part of the "Don't Make a Wave Committee" in Canada, organized a protest against U.S. nuclear testing in the Pacific. They chartered a fishing boat, the "Greenpeace," to sail to the test site, aiming to document the effects of nuclear testing and promote peace. This initiative garnered significant media attention and support, leading to the establishment of Greenpeace as a global environmental organization. New Zealand became a stronghold for Greenpeace activities, particularly in campaigns against nuclear weapons and environmental degradation.
