Greenpeace Blocks unloading Soya from the Amazon
Using inflatable boats, Greenpeace activists blocked the ship 'W-One', in the North Sea Canal to stop her offloading Amazon soya from the US commodities giant Cargill in the port of Amsterdam. The banner reads: "Forest Crime!"
In original language:
Greenpeace Verhindert lossen van Soja uit de Amazone
Vijf rubberboten met elf activisten van Greenpeace verhinderen het lossen van het schip 'W-One' vol soja uit de Amazone. De teelt van soja is een van de grootste bedreigingen van het unieke Amazoneregenwoud. Greenpeace protesteerde tegen de binnenkomst van het 225 meter lange schip 'W-One', omdat de oprukkende sojateelt de grootste bedreiging vormt voor het Amazoneregenwoud. In de havens van Amsterdam en Rotterdam komt 21 procent van de soja binnen die Brazilië uitvoert. Dat maakt Nederland de grootste importeur van soja; en daarmee dus medeverantwoordelijk voor de ontbossing. Op het spandoek staat: "Forest Crime!" oftewel: "Bos Misdaad!".

Forests Action Soya Ship W-One Amsterdam
Using five inflatable boats, eleven Greenpeace activists blocked the ship 'W-One', in the North Sea Canal to stop her offloading Amazon soya from the US commodities giant Cargill in the port of Amsterdam. The soya comes direct from the heart of the Amazon rainforest, which is being illegally destroyed at an alarming rate to grow soya for Europe's farm animals and fast food chains. Of the exported Brazilian soya, 21% ends up in the ports of Amsterdam or Rotterdam which makes the Netherlands the biggest importer of soya; and with that comes the responsibility for the deforestation of the ancient forests of the world.
