1. The Deforestation Problem – 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. 
2. Haze Crisis – Clean air, free from haze, is a basic human right. And yet we have been facing haze almost yearly, made worse during dry seasons. We continue having to face both local and cross-border haze. The average outdoor air quality in Malaysia has consistently fallen below the air quality standard prescribed by the WHO.
3. The Plastic Issue – We are championing the reduction of plastic production, ending single-use plastic, and transitioning to a reuse-based economy. Our vision is to create a world free of single-use plastic waste and the harm it brings to living things on the planet. 
4. It has been found that Malaysia only has the capacity to recycle 16% of domestic + imported waste. As a result, very little domestic household plastics get recycled.

1. The Forest Research Institute Malaysia reported that, during a haze episode, two varieties of hybrid rice showed 50% reduction in growth rate.
2. 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.
3. 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. 

1. Exposing those who contribute to environmental destruction.
2. Conducting science-based research.
3. Taking direct action through creative, confrontational, and non-violent means.
4. Pressuring governments and industries to recognize their responsibilities and have a more sustainable practice.
5. 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.
