On board the Rainbow Warrior is Greenpeace Australia Pacific’s Stephen Campbell. “It was a pleasure to meet [the Minister] and we are delighted that they have been so supportive of Greenpeace’s visit to Indonesia and that they have asked for our help. Our meeting confirms that there is a crisis in the oceans and forests in this region,” he said.
The Rainbow Warrior is gathering information in the lead up to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in February. The meeting, dubbed by Greenpeace as the “Summit for Life on Earth”, will see world leaders discussing the protection of the world's forests and oceans, many of which suffer from massive destruction.
Among those attending the CBD will be Dorothy Tekwie, Greenpeace’s forests campaigner who is part of the successful operations in PNG. Working with traditional landowners and other non-government organisations, Greenpeace has been active in the area for over a decade and has helped save around one million hectares of primary rainforest in the Western and Milne Bay provinces from logging.
At the Convention on Biological Diversity, Greenpeace will call on delegates to agree on proposals to stop the destruction of the world’s ancient forests and oceans. Greenpeace believes that the CBD is the most important forum for governments around the world to take concrete steps to protect life on earth today.
