The Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation recognized the activities of one of the oldest environmental organizations, Greenpeace, as undesirable. Founded in 1971 in Canada, Greenpeace in Russia since 1992 has been involved in projects for the separate collection of waste, the conservation of forests and the extinguishing of forest fires. The Prosecutor General’s Office explained that the activities of environmentalists threaten “the foundations of the constitutional order” and hinder “the implementation of infrastructure and energy projects beneficial to the country.” “If you think about it, it turns out that it is undesirable to protect nature in Russia,” Greenpeace Russia commented on the situation, announcing that they were forced to close the Russian office.
