  • Taranaki, New Zealand - Greenpeace Aotearoa activists have occupied the storage facility of Fonterra’s biggest palm kernel supplier and locked themselves to pillars stopping a ship from Indonesia carrying 30 thousand tonnes of palm kernel expeller from unloading. Fake blood seeps from an oversized block of Anchor butter that reads: Anchor Rainforest Killer.. Meanwhile, another team of activists dressed as orangutan climbed onto the roof of the Agrifeeds facility and deployed a 500 square meter banner that reads ‘Anchor Rainforest Killer’. The Greenpeace activists are protesting against the use of palm kernel as cow feed on Fonterra farms due to the product’s links to illegal palm plantations and deforestation of paradise rainforests in Southeast Asia.
