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.
