Greenpeace activists paint "Stop Deforestation Now" and hang a banner reading "Stop Dirty Palm Oil" (Hentikan Minyar Sawit Kotor in Indonesian) onto the hull of a tanker at the Wilmar International refinery in Bitung, North Sulawesi.
Thirty Greenpeace activists from Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, UK, France, Australia and members of the Indonesian rock band Boomerang, occupy a palm oil refinery belonging to Wilmar International, the world’s largest palm oil trader and supplier of major brands including Colgate, Mondelez, Nestlé and Unilever.
The refinery, on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, processes palm oil from major producers that are destroying rainforests in Kalimantan and Papua, Indonesia.
