Action at Cargill Soya Facility in Brazil
Greenpeace activist is arrested by police after a protest against the exportation of Amazonian soya at Cargill's illegal soya port in the Amazon rainforest. Cargill Soya Facility sells soya grown in deforested areas of the rainforest. The expansion of soya plantations in the region has meant the destruction of natural habitat as trees and forests are cleared to meet agricultural demand. Soya expansion is one of the leading causes of deforestation in the Amazon. The soya is exported to Europe for animal feed.
In original language:
Aktion gegen Cargill
Greenpeace Aktivisten von der "MV Arctic Sunrise" protestieren an einer illegalen Soja-Verladestation der Firma Cargill gegen die Abholzung des Amazonas-Urwalds durch die Soja-Industrie. Das Greenpeace Schiff legt die Verladestation lahm, Kletterer entrollen ein Transparent "Fora Cargill" (Cargill raus). Cargill kauft Soja aus dem Amazonas Regenwald und verschifft es nach Europa, wo es vor allem als Tierfutter benutzt wird. Verhafteter Aktivist wird von der Polizei bewacht.
