Palm Kernel Ship Blockade in NZ

Greenpeace activists carry out an action against the cargo ship East Ambition transporting a shipment of palm kernel animal feed from Indonesia and destined for Fonterra dairy farms. Greenpeace is calling on John Key, New Zealand’s Prime Minister, to halt imports of palm kernel due to its impact on deforestation and climate change and address intensive dairy farming in New Zealand. The ship’s cargo has contributed to the release of up to 364,000 tonnes of carbon emissions. That’s the same as the emissions from 127,000 cars over a year.
