Greenpeace activists called upon the shareholders of Clariant to demand the company ends their business with Canadian companies destroying the rainforest. The German subsidiary of multinational Clariant is partly owned by Hoechst AG and currently buys up to 8,000 tonnes of pulp from Canada's second largest rainforest ravager, Western Forest Products. The logging company has recently started blasting linking roads into the pristine rainforest valleys of the Great Bear Rainforest.
