Rainbow Warrior Ocean Defender Tour in Indonesia

The Rainbow Warrior is in Indonesia to document one of the world’s most biodiverse – and threatened – environments. Greenpeace is working to raise awareness on Indonesia’s rich yet fragile environment, and to support President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s commitment to protect the country’s forests and to restore our living oceans back to health. This work is part of the “Ocean Defender Tour of Southeast Asia,” which travels though three countries. In Indonesia, the tour deals with protection of both forests and oceans, and Greenpeace is promoting a message of protecting biodiversity with the title “100% Indonesia: protecting our Forests and Oceans together.”
