Maradona, movie stars and flying jaguars triumph in Argentina

Jaguars roar into action

In Argentina precious forest is being bulldozed at a rate of a soccer pitch area every three minutes - all for soya crops to feed pigs and chickens in Europe and China. We are out to stop this destruction with the Greenpeace Jaguar team.

Greenpeace activists, dressed as 'jaguars', used chains to immobilise bulldozers that have been destroying Yungas forest in north west Argentina. Argentina's forests are being cut down to grow Monsanto's genetically engineered soya for export as animal feed to Europe and China. Enlarge Image

Greenpeace Jaguars Caged

Our team of Greenpeace Jaguars, who have been protecting the ancient forests of Argentina from the expansion of Genetically Engineered soya, have been arrested while documenting the deforestation in northern Argentina some 1800 km north of Buenos Aires in the city of Tartagal, north of Salta province.

Saving Argentine forests from destruction

The Greenpeace Jaguars are leaping into action: activists on motorbikes are stopping bulldozers from destroying forest lands in Salta, Argentina. Cyberactivists around the world are picking up the phone and calling the Argentine embassies in their countries to demand a moratorium on forest destruction to stop the killing of rare wildlife and displacement of forest peoples. Your help is urgently needed: you can be a Greenpeace Jaguar with a telephone and three minutes of your time.

The Greenpeace Jaguars

An area of forest the size of Germany is under threat, along with the indigenous peoples and jaguars that live there. Bulldozers are turning the land into soya plantations to feed pigs and chickens in Europe and North America.
