Aerial of an oil spill in a forest near Surgut. Disastrous oil spills are a daily routine at Rosneft fields near Pyt'-Yah, Khanty-Mansi region, Siberia.
Denis Sinyakov, who covered Greenpeace’s expedition to the Rosneft’s oil fields, is a Moscow-based Russian photographer, who worked as a photo editor and a staff photographer at Agence France-Presse and Reuters.
Today, we published an advert in the Telegraph outlining a long list of disasters that have already befallen Shell and which demonstrate that Arctic drilling is a risk too far. The list is copied here and contains references for the facts referred to in the advert.
If you don't trust Shell with the Arctic either, join the campaign to Save The Arctic.
Shell's Arctic oil rig hits the rocks. Should we trust them with the Arctic?
Shell's most
recent 'mishap' a few days ago was not the first setback the oil giant has suffered in
its plans to drill for oil in the Arctic. In fact, it's the eighth in a growing
list of reasons why Shell should not be trusted in the Arctic.
Fridays are always interesting in most offices. In the web team here at Greenpeace UK, we use it as a day to experiment with social media in delivering our campaign messages. At times, this can have slightly bizarre consequences....

Today our cooperation with Mozambique’s Ministry of
Fisheries comes to an end after two weeks. As part of a ship tour of the Indian

of foreign fishing vessels that are targeting mainly tuna and endangered
sharks.

The local fishing community in Thiaroye, Dakar, is celebrating. Since
the new Senegalese government took action to stop overfishing, fisheries in the region
are slowly regenerating, and fishermen are returning home with healthier
catches.
For a long time organisations like Greenpeace, backed by people like you, have been calling for stronger protection of our oceans.
Last week showed our voices were
heard. The Australian environment minister Tony Burke announced what is
a genuinely significant step forward for ocean
protection, not only for Australia, but in global terms.
