Greenpeace activists worldwide protest against TOTAL's plans to drill near the Amazon Reef. The aim of actions is to raise awareness among TOTAL customers about the risks of drilling in such a sensitive area, less than 30 km away from the reef.
This global day of action is part of a campaign led by Greenpeace since the Amazon Reef was revealed in 2016 and photographed for the first time this year. An expedition undertaken by the organization in January 2017 with a team of scientists captured the first underwater images of the reef. But there is still so much to discover. According to scientists, only 5% of the reef has been explored.
