On the mahogany was written "Mogno Illegal Amazon Crime" (Illegal Mahogany, Amazon Crime), and on the reverse "Bush Stop Forest Crime Not Greenpeace". The wood was delivered by activists wearing gags on their mouths, on the 2nd day of a trial in Miami, USA, which sees the Greenpeace organization indicted on 19th century law of "sailor-mongering". The wood was received by security guards and tested for explosives.Locations:Brazil-Rio de Janeiro-South AmericaDate:18 May, 2004Credit:© Greenpeace / Jeremy Sutton-HibbertMaximum size:3072px X 2048pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Demonstrations-Forests (campaign title)-Greenpeace activists-KWCI (GPI)-Mahogany-SAGE (campaign title)-SymbolsShoot:MV Arctic Sunrise GE Tour in BrazilThe Greenpeace ship MV Arctic Sunrise and the Biosafety Inspection is part of the tour "Brazil melhor sem transgênicos" (Brazil is better without GE food crops). All over the world, GE industry is attempting to contaminate the non-GE supply. Commercial growing of GE soya was illegal in Brazil until last year, when the Lula Government caved in to demand from Monsanto and farmers in Rio Grande do Sul who had been using Monsanto's GE soya seeds smuggled across from Argentina. The first legal harvest of GE soya is now ready and is about to enter Brazil's food chain and be exported overseas. The MV Arctic Sunrise (MVAS) GE soya tour aims to defend consumers' and farmers' rights to choose non-GE, and to expose the risk of GE soya.Related Collections:MV Arctic Sunrise GE Tour in Brazil (All Photographer & Videos)
