Greenpeace Pictures of the Week

A stranded whale, incomplete infrastructure, and a call for peace. Here are a few of our favourite images from Greenpeace work around the world this week.

USA - As another perilous threat to Iran looms from behind White House gates, Greenpeace USA activists took a banner to the Capitol calling for the immediate removal of President Donald Trump for war crimes. NO WAR calls are coming from across the nation while Trump schemes up more ways to steal oil under the guise of a senseless war that would not only put American's lives at risk, but is already threatening the livelihood of all.

Brazil - The 22nd edition of the Free Land Camp (ATL 2026) takes place from April 5 to 11 in Brasília. As Brazil's largest Indigenous mobilisation, this year's gathering is held under the theme "Our future is not for sale: we are the answer," bringing together thousands of Indigenous leaders from across the country to discuss land demarcation, confront the climate crisis, and defend democracy, while also fostering cultural exchange among hundreds of Indigenous peoples.

Argentina - In the hours leading up to a debate in the Chamber of Deputies, Greenpeace Andino activists staged a peaceful protest outside the National Congress in Buenos Aires to demand that the bill seeking to amend the current Glacier Law not moved forward, as it puts the country's main freshwater reserves at risk. The proposal seeks to open unique glacial areas to mining.

Germany - Aerial footage shows a humpback whale stranded close to the Island Poel in the Baltic Sea off Germany. Greenpeace is on the ground and supporting the ongoing efforts to help the whale to safety.

India - Through creative intervention themed around the Scream, where citizens scream their frustrations about wasteful infrastructure projects in Bangalore, the incomplete pillars at R. R. Nagar, Bangalore were highlighted by putting up stickers and banners criticising these unfinished projects.

Poland - Polish coal mines illegally leak enormous amounts of climate-killing methane. Their total climate impact is already larger than the EU's single largest climate killer, Belchatow power plant. Greenpeace activists have scaled the 54 meter high shaft of the Knurów-Szczygłowice coal mine to protest against these illegal activities. The government of PM Donald Tusk should fully implement the EU methane regulation in order to stop the leakage.

The banner reads "Dangerous Methane is leaking from here."

South Africa - Greenpeace Africa activists join the 2026 Human Rights Festival at Conhill, Johannesburg.

Greenpeace has been a pioneer of photo activism for more than 50 years, and remains committed to bearing witness and exposing environmental injustice through the images we capture.
