Forever Green Reserve in Brazil
Greenpeace campaigner and activist Tatiana de Carvalho does a piece to camera during a meeting with community members living in the Forever Green Reserve, in Porto de Moz, Para state, Amazon. They talk about the lack of government action since the creation of the protected area in 2004. Eight years later, the community member have not got their "Use of Concession" contract, and there are still farmers and loggers operating there. The local and federal government’s reaction to this widespread illegality is slow and inadequate. Greenpeace is calling for a Zero Deforestation Law in Brazil.

The Rainbow Warrior in Brazil
Greenpeace's ship the Rainbow Warrior sails down the Amazon River. During its first voyage to Brazil, the ship will pass through the Amazon and down the Brazilian coast, to support a campaign for a zero deforestation law. The ship sets sail just three months before the global spotlight is cast on President Dilma as she hosts the UN Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro. Brazil is currently one of the biggest global climate polluters through forest destruction and its leadership of forest protection is hanging by a thread. Greenpeace is calling on President Dilma to veto the new Forest Code and support the Brazilian people’s call for a Zero Deforestation law.
