Jim Bohlen (July 4, 1926 – July 5, 2010) was an American engineer who worked on the Atlas ICBM missile program and later emigrated to Canada after becoming disillusioned with the US government's nuclear policy during the Cold War. He became one of the founders of Greenpeace. Bohlen ran for the Greens federally in 1988. Some credit friction between him and long-time enemy Paul Watson for Watson's defection to the NDP during that campaign.

| - Jim Bohlen (July 4, 1926 – July 5, 2010) was an American engineer who worked on the Atlas ICBM missile program and later emigrated to Canada after becoming disillusioned with the US government's nuclear policy during the Cold War. He became one of the founders of Greenpeace. Bohlen, one of the approximately half-dozen founders of Greenpeace, arguably made the most lasting impression with his brilliant backroom dealings. He effectively out-manoeuvered more high-profile members of the group such as Paul Watson within the organization's inner workings and can be primarily credited with transforming the organization from a small, vociferous Canadian pressure group into the highly efficient international movement it is today. Bohlen was a strong supporter of the creation of Greenpeace International and the move of the group's headquarters from Vancouver to New York City, essentially giving birth to Greenpeace as we know it today. He was also instrumental in developing the group's hierarchical military-style command structure. He made a similar and even less-acknowledged contribution to Green politics in Canada by negotiating a deal that ended the party's 10-year prohibition against Green Parties having leaders at a meeting of the Green Party of BC in 1992. (Between 1982 and 1992, some Green Parties were required by law to have registered leaders but party constitutions prohibited these individuals from speaking for these parties.) Within four years of Bohlen's breakthrough agreement, all Canadian Green parties had moved to adopt conventional political structures in which their leaders functioned as primary spokespeople. Bohlen ran for the Greens federally in 1988. Some credit friction between him and long-time enemy Paul Watson for Watson's defection to the NDP during that campaign. (en)
- Jim Bohlen fue uno de los fundadores del Don’t Make a Wave Committee, del que luego nació la organización no gubernamental ambientalista Greenpeace. El Don’t Make a Wave Committee se fundó para luchar contra pruebas nucleares en una isla en Alaska. En la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Bohlen fue radiooperador en el ejército estadounidense. En 1949 se licenció en ingeniería mecánica en la Universidad de Nueva York. Luego trabajó para una empresa en el sector de defensa. En 1967 se trasladó con su familia a Vancouver en Canadá para evitar que su hijastro sería llamado a filas. Él y su mujer empezaron a luchar por la paz y el medioambiente. Bohlen fue uno de los fundadores del Don’t Make a Wave Committee, la predecesora de Greenpeace. En 1974 fundó junto con su mujer una comunidad de agricultores. En 1975 se publicó un libro de Bohlen. Después de un período en el que no fue miembro de Greenpeace, en los años ochenta se comprometió otra vez en la organización, luchando contra las armas nucleares. Luego fue director de Greenpeace hasta su jubilación en 1993. En 2000 se publicó otro libro suyo, sobre Greenpeace. Murió en la localidad canadiense de Comox en Columbia Británica el 5 de julio de 2010 a los 84 años de edad. (es)
