Cécile Leuba, Forest campaigner for Greenpeace France during a painting action in off Saint Nazaire harbour.
Activists from Greenpeace France welcomed the cargo ship Cabrillo coming from the Cerrado region (Brazil) off the Saint-Nazaire harbour.
They want to denounce once again the French government inaction about the imported deforestation.
The activists met the ship at sea and painted the message "STOP DEFORESTATION" on the cargo ship hull.
This new action follows the blockade of a soy warehouse in Saint-Nazaire harbour the previous week.
It happens as new catastrophic datas were published by the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) of Brazil: fires in the Amazon and Cerrado have broken records not seen for 14 years. The monitoring institute counted nearly 4,000 fires in the month of May alone for these two ecosystems.
