Jean-François Julliard, director of Greenpeace France, explains the action to the media.

Greenpeace activists protest against TOTAL's plans to drill in Amazon despite recent evidence of Reef and wide biodiversity in the area. Armed with Brazilian batucada, banners and a smile, 250 activists from Greenpeace and ANV-COP21 got inside the Palais des Congrès in Paris, where Total’s 2018 Shareholders’ Meeting was planned. Outside, climbers, activists and volunteers were standing in front of the building, some playing music, some with banners including two strong messages : "Save the Amazon Reef" and "Total persists, we resist".
