@MartaBeatrize The activists worked with an archeologist, and were very careful to protect the Nazca Lines.
as long as they had an "expert" along...well ok then. :lol:
When the
Nazca lines fiasco broke, Greenpeace's response was to assure the world it worked with an archaeologist, taking every possible precaution:
The archaeologist was eventually identified in a
New York Times report of the incident. It named Wolfgang Sadik, an 'archaeologist-turned activist' who we were told had 'set aside his studies to work for Greenpeace'. The NYT relied on a Reuters video to relay how Sadik seemed to be directing 'some of the other activists'. It quoted photographer Rodrigo Abd:
“The archaeologist explained where to walk and where not to walk... There was a great concern not to even leave a mark of your shoes on the ground, and if a rock was moved put it back in its place.”
The article further quoted Wolfgang Neubauer of the University of Vienna who informed Sadik was his doctoral candidate and had 'put off his studies to work with Greenpeace.'
This blog will show there's more than what the
New York Times let its readers in for. Far from being an archaeologist, Wolfgang Sadik is a committed long-time Greenpeace member and activist, who has conducted several campaigns for the organization including some in leadership positions.
Sadik's recorded Greenpeace activism appears to begin over a decade ago in 2003
when he appeared in Tuwaitha, Iraq near Baghdad as a 'Greenpeace spokesman'. Sadik was part of a
6-member Greenpeace team that
measured radiation and radiation sickness at sites where looted material from the Tuwaitha nuclear facilities had made their way.
