In the light of what we come to understand in these pages, it is now clear that Greenpeace is the only world wide organization which is actively and valiantly fighting for the very survival of humankind and of our biosphere. The name "Rainbow Warrior" - pictured at left - was inspired by a North American Indian legend which prophesies that when man has destroyed the world through his greed, the Warriors of the Rainbow will arise to save it again. At present they are our only hope.

The Worldwatch Institute is dedicated to fostering an environmentally sustainable society, and conducts inter-disciplinary, non-partisan research on emerging global environmental issues, the results of which are disseminated throughout the world. The Institute's outlook is global because the most pressing environmental issues are global. Given the earth's unified ecosystem and an increasingly integrated global economy, only a global approach to issues such as climate change, depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer, the loss of biological diversity, degradation of oceans, and population growth can be effective.
