Greenpeace activists board a cargo ship entering the port of Caen, 
France. The ship is loaded with timber sourced from companies with 
links to illegal logging operations in the Amazon. The action exposes 
Europe’s role in fuelling the destruction of the Amazon rainforest by 
buying timber illegally logged in the region. Greenpeace is urging the 
owner of the shipment to reject timber from illegal loggers until they 
can prove that the timber comes from legal sources.
