Forget about the protesters, haul up the anchor & sail with the protesters dangling for the whole voyage.

That said... having just returned from north-east Malaysian Borneo (ooh, aren't you the traveller), the level of destruction of rainforrest habitat in order to plant palm-oil plantations is absolutely disgraceful. In the few areas of rainforrest left on this island live several species of endangered animals, birds... the orang-utan being the most well known, but also amongst them the clouded leopard, the pigmy elephant, the proboscis monkey, the pangolin, the slow loris, the giant flying squirrel, the Malayan sunbear, the mousedeer to name a few. You can drive for five, six, seven hours on end, and all you will see are felled areas of rainforrest replaced by palm plantations. The wanton destruction of the habitat of several endangered animals for reckless proffit (and mostly by large multinational corporations, not for local industry before anyone raises that one) pisses me off, and I can understand why Greenpeace took the actions they did.
