Greenpeace activists at the Climate Defenders Camp in Indonesia shut down the export facilities of a major pulp mill operation to send a message to world leaders: there are only twelve days left until the Copenhagen climate summit, where it is imperative that we sign a fair, ambitious, and binding deal to tackle global warming and avert its worst affects.
Twelve activists blocked cranes at the port to stop pulp exports, and displayed banners reading, "Forest Destruction: You can stop this." Their action was meant to urge world leaders, including President Obama and Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, to provide strong leadership and provide a global fund for forests to end tropical deforestation.
