Greenpeace activists deliver a cargo of Amazon illegal timber to the Federal Police in Sao Paulo, Brazil, completing a 5-month secret operation to expose illegal logging in the Amazon. Earlier this year activists purchased 29 cubic metres of illegal timber in the State of Rondunia and followed it to Sao Paulo to show how lack of government control means that illegal timber is sold as legal in the marketplace.
