\"Carolina

Carolina Nyberg-Steiser<\/p><\/div>\n

Carolina was traveling in a small amphibious plane that crashed while landing on the river Rio Negro near the city of Manaus, capital of the northern state of Amazonas in Brazil. There is no confirmed information on the causes of the accident. The plane crashed Tuesday at around 11.50 AM Manaus time (18.50 CEST).<\/p>\n

Carolina was visiting our Brazil office to meet with her colleagues and learn more about the campaign to protect the Amazon. She was on a flight to see firsthand the beauty of the forest.<\/p>\n

The four others onboard, including the pilot, all survived, sustaining light injuries.<\/p>\n

Out of respect to Carolina\u2019s family we are not commenting further at this time.<\/p>\n

Carolina will be deeply missed by all of us. Our thoughts are with her family.<\/p>\n

Statement in Swedish:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Set the \u00e4r med stor sorg vi kan bekr\u00e4fta att v\u00e5r n\u00e4ra v\u00e4n och kollega Carolina Nyberg-Steiser, 29 \u00e5r, fr\u00e5n Greenpeace Norden har omkommit i en tragisk flygolycka utanf\u00f6r Manaus i Amazonas, Brasilien.<\/em><\/p>\n

Carolina f\u00e4rdades i ett litet amfibieflygplan som kraschade vid landning p\u00e5 floden Rio Negro n\u00e4ra staden Manaus, huvudstaden i Amazonas norra delstat. Det finns ingen bekr\u00e4ftad information om orsakerna till olyckan. Flygplanet kraschade tisdag kl. 11.50 brasiliansk tid (18.50 CEST).<\/em><\/p>\n

Carolina var p\u00e5 bes\u00f6k vid v\u00e5rt brasilianska kontor f\u00f6r att tr\u00e4ffa kollegor och l\u00e4ra sig mer om v\u00e5r kampanj f\u00f6r att skydda regnskog i Amazonas. Hon skulle genomf\u00f6ra en flygresa \u00f6ver regionen f\u00f6r att med egna \u00f6gon bevittna naturen.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tre \u00f6vriga passagerare fr\u00e5n Greenpeace Brasilien och piloten \u00f6verlevde olyckan och v\u00e5rdas p\u00e5 sjukhus chockade men med l\u00e4ttare skador.<\/em><\/p>\n

Av respekt f\u00f6r Carolinas familj, och innan vi vet alla detaljer, kommenterar vi inte mer \u00e4n s\u00e5 i nul\u00e4get.<\/em><\/p>\n

Carolina \u00e4r djupt saknad av oss alla.<\/em><\/p>\n

V\u00e5ra tankar g\u00e5r till hennes familj.<\/em><\/p>\n
