Melanie Duchin

Melanie Duchin has been with Greenpeace for almost 20 years and has campaigned on a variety of issues including global warming, toxic pollution, nuclear power, nuclear weapons, forests and ocean ecology. Most recently, she worked on a Greenpeace campaign to halt commercial whaling. In early 2007, she spent seven weeks on a Greenpeace icebreaker in Antarctica where the Japanese government planned to kill almost 1000 whales as part of its sham “scientific” whaling program. Once back on land, she returned home to organize and coordinate Greenpeace campaign activities at this year’s International Whaling Commission meeting, which was held in her hometown of Anchorage, Alaska in late May.
