The start of the Greenpeace campaign was announced at a news conference at the Rio+20 international conference, currently underway in Brazil. In the photo: a Greenpeace campaign in Sydney.
Around noon, a Greenpeace activist dressed as a polar bear strolled up St. Basil’s Descent, by Red Square, to the Spasskaya Tower where – according to another Greenpeace representative, Dmitry Kuznetsov – a police officer “suggested the ‘bear’ leave Russia’s main square and continue its walk on Manezh Square.” (photo courtesy of Greenpeace Russia)
Last May, environmentalists locked themselves inside a rescue capsule that was hanging right above a drill of a Cairn Energy oil rig in the Arctic. In the photo: a Greenpeace campaign in Austria.
As a result, drilling was halted for 48 hours. In early September 2010, Greenpeace activists landed on a Cairn Energy drilling platform, hindering exploration in Baffin Bay off the coast of Greenland for two days. In the photo: a Greenpeace campaign in Denmark.
