Illegally logged timber is branded by volunteers as it arrives in UK docks
Monday 3 June 4.30 am
As light fills the sky I close the back of the van containing thirteen Greenpeace volunteers. We leave for Tilbury immediately taking a different route to our other van filled with a similar number.
Volunteers from around the UK are part of this action to bring attention to the destruction of the Amazon forest by marking a newly unloaded shipment of Amazonian plywood.
Stomach tightening anticipation begins to build as we set out for the London port of Tilbury where the Amazonian plywood waits in Shed 42.
