Greenpeace Opens Office in Johannesburg

International environmental activists, Greenpeace, have opened an office in Johannesburg to tackle climate change, deforestation and overfishing on the African continent.

Greenpeace Africa executive director, Amadou Kanoute, points out that: “While the environmental threats facing Africans are urgent and critical, Africa is in a position to leapfrog dirty development and become a leader in helping to avert catastrophic climate change and protect the natural environment.”

Kanoute, argues that while other offices will be opened in the Democratic Republic of Congo and in Senegal, Africa contributes little to global warming, the continent will be one of the hardest hit by its effects.
