Forests, the lungs of our planet!
Forests are home to our planet’s most extraordinary plants and creatures.
If we don’t act now, we could lose over 30% of the world’s forests in the next few decades, pushing us closer to climate catastrophe.
Forest loss could release 100 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, making heatwaves, floods, and droughts more frequent.
Up to 1 million species are at risk of extinction, and 1.6 billion people who rely on forests for food, water, and livelihoods will be directly affected.
These numbers represent lives at stake.
Your donation can make a real difference in protecting our forests, which is crucial to humans and other species.

What Losing Our Forest Means
179,000 hectares (179kha) of primary forest between 2002 and 2023- that roughly translates to
250,000 FIFA football fields
worth of forests in Kelantan alone.
21 landslides in Malaysia just in 2022.
Illegal Logging can increase the occurrence of Landslides.

There is no Planet B
Peatland and forest destruction are resulting in forest fires, loss of wildlife habitats and ecological damage that affects our health.
When peatlands are cleared and drained to make way for plantations, such as oil palm and other monoculture farming, this carbon-rich peat becomes tinder dry and vulnerable to fires, creating more haze.
In Malaysia and Indonesia, the places where wildfires burn most intensely mostly occur on peatland.
- The Forest Research Institute Malaysia reported that, during a haze episode, two varieties of hybrid rice showed 50% reduction in growth rate.
- Deforestation disrupts natural habitats, leading to closer contact between humans and wildlife. This increases the risk of zoonotic diseases, with 60% of emerging infectious diseases originating from animals.
- Forests play a crucial role in maintaining the water cycle. Their removal can lead to reduced water quality, and change rainfall patterns, which increases flooding and droughts, directly impacting human communities and our food security.
- Exposing those who contribute to environmental destruction.
- Conducting science-based research.
- Taking direct action through creative, confrontational, and non-violent means.
- Pressuring governments and industries to recognize their responsibilities and have a more sustainable practice.
- Uniting community strength and advocating for stricter laws, eco-friendly policies and solutions.
Our independence is crucial to the effectiveness of our campaigns. We only accept donations from individuals and do not receive funding from governments, corporations, or political parties.
- Greenpeace filed a landmark complaint at SUHAKAM for public inquiry into haze pollution as a human rights violation in 2021.
- On Sept 2024, SUHAKAM recognised that a clean, healthy environment is a basic human right and provided recommendations for a Clean Air Act with transboundary haze mechanisms. We will continue to work towards getting our government to recognise that our our environmental rights be seen as part of our basic human right to life. Our next step is to get a Clean Air Act that tackles transboundary and domestic air pollution, enacted in parliament.
- Greenpeace Malaysia has stopped HSBC from funding companies that are responsible for forest destruction.
FAQ
Greenpeace relies on individual donations to maintain our independence. This means that we do not accept donations from any business, corporation, government or political party. Our work is fully powered by individual contributions and grants from private charitable foundations who share our values.
This ensures that we can fight solely for the benefit of the environment without being held to any group with vested interests that might try to influence us or threaten to withdraw funding.
This is what makes Greenpeace incorruptible and a true fighting force in the pursuit of a more green and peaceful world.
Regular monthly donations are critical to our success. They help us create, plan and implement effective long-term and strategic campaigns against complex issues like climate change and against massive corporations and governments. They also reduce administrative costs, which means your donation goes further.
Every year, Greenpeace publishes an Annual Report. Our annual report highlights updates from our campaigns and includes financial transparency reports. You can read the latest Annual Report here!
