What environmental NGO was founded in 1971 and is known for its direct action campaigns against nuclear testing and environmental degradation?

Greenpeace
Sierra Club
World Wildlife Fund
Natural Resources Defense Council

The correct answer is: Greenpeace

"Greenpeace" was founded in 1971 and is known for its direct action campaigns against nuclear testing and environmental degradation. The other options listed were not founded in 1971 and do not primarily focus on direct action campaigns against nuclear testing and environmental degradation. The Sierra Club is an environmental organization that was founded in 1892 and focuses on conservation and protecting natural resources. The World Wildlife Fund is a global conservation organization that was founded in 1961 and focuses on the protection and conservation of wildlife and their habitats. The Natural Resources Defense Council is a non-profit environmental advocacy group that was founded in 1970 and works to protect public health and the environment through policy and legal action. None of these organizations were founded in 1971 and their primary focus is not on direct action campaigns against nuclear testing and environmental degradation. Therefore, Greenpeace is the most appropriate answer for this question.
