 Of course.  Their  webpages are full of information about their various
projects around the world. Campaigning on sea mammals is just a fraction
of their amazing  range of acitvity

It probably depends on what you are looking for.
Any large  organization needs an income,
and some (I have worked in many) use too much time getting the necessary
cash to do their thing, and therefore become less effective.
Some orkers in greenpeace and other organizations  actually get paid for
their work, which, of course makes it possible  for them to survive, and
motivates them to keep on working.
I Imagine you also have an income  to keep you alive in this
moneycentered world. .

But it is *not* an objective *fact* that gathering money is their main
purpose.  Moneymakimng does not take up most of their time, and
certainly is not formeost in their minds.

Youre statement on this point is bullshit
