Aside from radical protests against whaling, other NGOs such as Greenpeace have “peacefully protested” the ongoing whaling, by avoiding “fleet wars” the SSCS partakes in. By 1973, Greenpeace confronted whaling fleets in response to the decline of blue whales and other species. In the midst of a peaceful battle to defend the whales, Greenpeace snapped a photograph of a dead sperm whale, burdening the public to the IWC in requests for justice.

However, some opponents have totally different opinions. Take Patrick Moore as an example, he said that the activists in the environmental group have no tolerance about the genetic enhanced food (Moore, 2005). It mentioned that there is no evidence show that genetic enhanced food can be harmful to human health and global environment (Moore
A growing body of literature examines the relationship between environmental protest and news media representation with special emphasis on how these formations relate to and affect the public and politics. The nature of our research is such that we are going to use a multitheoretical approach. Space does not permit to review all the work done on this matter, but we have selected various key perspectives needed for understanding the mechanisms of framing and media bias in the reporting of protest

That place you want to drill so bad?”. To which J.W replied “That 's a whole other fight. She 's got her tree-hugger buddies in Washington killing
Biodiversity often appears as an under the radar issue that is put on the backburner to other environmental problems such as: climate change, ocean acidification, or ozone depletion. When in reality, it should really be a frontrunner as it explicitly involves all living things that dwell within our shared biosphere. While the human population did not really start making waves to remedy the endangerment or extinction of plants and animals until the 1970s with laws that included, the Marine Mammal
