Greenpeace Esperanza 2000-2022

...who brought the Esperanza into the Greenpeace fleet, named it, and stood behind it on every part of its journey. To those people, and all of you who have carried the light of hope in your hearts, we say “gracias”. greenpeace.org/international/…

The end of an era... youtube.com/watch?v=_wMfcZ… The Esperanza (Spanish for ‘Hope’) is retiring. For over 20 years, the ship was an immense presence in environmental activism. 

The light of 'Hope' will always be in our heart

We are sad to bid farewell to a great defender of liberty, a man of sharp intellect and of deep love for humanity and the planet. #RIPDesmondTuTu

A gas rig sank in the Adriatic Sea almost a year ago - and it’s still there! 😱 @gp_sunrise sailed near the site to expose the dangers of fossil gas, pointing there’s nothing clean, safe or natural about it! #FossiFreeRevolution #BanFossilAds #EndGas bit.ly/30yxTB2

Great news: Greenland bans all new oil exploration due to escalating climate emergency and concerns for the fragile arctic environment. Years of creative, peaceful and persistent protest bear fruit. Pic: Greenpeace activists scaling an oil rig off the coast of Greenland in 2011

BOOM. Greenland bans all new oil exploration due to #ClimateEmergency and environmental concerns. No time to lose. Who’s next? apnews.com/article/europe…

#40ansCaSuffit Prolonger de 10 ans la durée de vie des centrales nucléaires ne sauvera pas le climat. Soutien des marins de l'Esperanza aux activistes en procès aujourd'hui ✊

No-one needs another fossil fuel project. This one threatens a unique coral reef and the communities that depend on it. RT to tell @BP_plc their new project is a terrible idea. #ClimateCrisis #ProtectTheOceans ecowatch.com/bp-gas-project…

Safety first, smile later ♡ Deckhands Clement and Marlene are conquering heights in a climbing training on board 🌈 #activism #Esperanza #climbing #ClimateCrisis

Being a deckhand on board means performing a variety of jobs, in a variety of colours 🌈Anne, volunteer deckhand on board of the Esperanza, shows it's all possible at the same time! Which is a useful skill to have ⭐

We wish everyone able to celebrate a lovely Pride. Thank you for all of you out there working hard, or who have worked hard, in the past or the present, to make Pride happen. Your efforts are truly important, as inclusivity goes hand in hand with our battle for a greener planet!

The Esperanza may be in port now, but that does not mean she will stop fighting for what needs to be protected 🌊

Everyday should be World Environment Day! #HappyWorldEnvironmentDay 🌈🌍💚

Watch our #activists take action at sea against the risky #DeepSeaMining industry. If deep sea mining is allowed to begin, it could permanently destroy fragile ecosystems that scientists have barely had a chance to explore. #ProtectTheOceans Onboard🎥Myrthe Verweij / Greenpeace
