Protest in Belgium against Total to Protect Amazon Reef (Photos)

Activists from 7 countries unveiled resistance art in the heart of the Belgian operation of Total, in the port of Antwerp. They called for a halt to Total's plans to drill for oil in the mouth of the Amazon. Climbing a chimney, a flare stack and a fuel tank, they unfurled banners saying "Total, don't destroy the reef". They also revealed an art installation designed by renowned street artist Bonom (real name Vincent Glowinski) - before they smeared it with 'oil'; the same fate that could hit the Amazon reef in the case of an oil leak.
