Two months ago, an earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. This not only resulted in a huge natural disaster and humanitarian crisis, but also triggered an unprecedented man-made tragedy. And yet plans are afoot to build a nuclear power plant in another earthquake zone, this time in India.

You are all brilliant.

We asked for your help to raise the cash to buy a polar bear which has become dear to our hearts (well, polar bear costume) and the response has been amazing. You've more than matched our target of £4,000 to find a new home for Paula Bear, and the current total is up around £4,500.

UPDATE: We've hit our target - thank you!

We need your help to save the polar bear. Well, one polar bear in particular.

Greenpeace have the opportunity to buy an astonishingly realistic polar bear costume to use in our work to tackle the causes of climate change - and help us stop reckless oil companies from drilling in the pristine Arctic wilderness.
