EATING UP THE AMAZON 1

EATING UP
THE AMAZON
7
Since 1998, Greenpeace has
been working alongside Amazon
communities to investigate and
expose the threats to the Amazon,
and to confront the major actors
driving the criminal destruction of this
globally critical rainforest. In order to
improve our effectiveness, we set up a
satellite mapping team in the Amazon
to track and identify those responsible
for opening up illegal roads and driving
deforestation. This work is coupled
with on-the-ground investigations
and aerial surveillance.
