The Rainbow Warrior in Brazil

Greenpeace's ship the Rainbow Warrior sails down the Amazon River. During its first voyage to Brazil, the ship will pass through the Amazon and down the Brazilian coast, to support a campaign for a zero deforestation law. The ship sets sail just three months before the global spotlight is cast on President Dilma as she hosts the UN Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro. Brazil is currently one of the biggest global climate polluters through forest destruction and its leadership of forest protection is hanging by a thread. Greenpeace is calling on President Dilma to veto the new Forest Code and support the Brazilian people’s call for a Zero Deforestation law.
