Forests Action Painting of Tropical Hardwood
Greenpeace activists are painting big tree-trunks of tropical hardwood blood red with eco-friendly paint and hold up a banner showing an angry gorilla with the slogan: "Get out of my forest!" The timber comes from African countries where rain forests are disappearing rapidly by illegal and destructive logging. These marked trunks were later found back all over the country in provinces like Friesland, Drenthe, Gelderland and Overijssel.
In original language:
Bossen Actie Beschilderen Tropisch Hardhout
Greenpeace activisten beschilderen grote boomstammen tropisch hardhout met millieuvriendelijke rode verf en laten een spandoek zien met een boze gorilla en de tekst: "Get out of my forest!" oftewel: "Ga mijn bos uit!" Het hout is afkomstig uit Afrikaanse landen waar de regenwouden op grote schaal verdwijnen door illegale en verwoestende houtkap. Deze gemarkeerde boomstammen zijn verspreid over Nederland teruggevonden bij acht bedrijven in Friesland, Zuid-Holland, Drenthe, Noord-Brabant, Gelderland en Overijssel.
Ongeveer 50% van al het tropisch hardhout in Nederland is illegaal gekapt.
