We've caught sawmills in the Amazon rainforest trading illegal timber. Now a shipment of illegal timber from one of those sawmills is on its way to Europe. If we act quickly, we can force the authorities to take action.

Three hundred loggers from Porto de Moz in the Amazon surrounded our ship, the MV Arctic Sunrise, earlier this week. Local forest activists were also threatened.

Greenpeace has been exposing illegal logging in the region. Prior to the attack, we discovered a barge full of illegal logs in a remote riverside harbour. Activists painted "Crime" on 6,000 cubic metres of logs.
