The banner reads: "Forest Crime!".In original language:Greenpeace Verhindert lossen van Soja uit de AmazoneActivisten van Greenpeace verhinderen de doorvaart van het schip 'W-One' vol soja uit de Amazone. Door het schip tegen te houden in het Noordzeekanaal kan het schip de haven van Amsterdam niet bereiken. 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. Op het spandoek staat: "Forest Crime!" oftewel: "Bos Misdaad!". 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.

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.
