Greenpeace, like PETA, conducts publicity stunts in order to highlight their causes. The group’s latest publicity stunt was geared to bring attention to climate change while world leaders attended Peru’s climate summit. The only thing is that their activism involved marching through the ancient Nazca Lines carved in the Peruvian desert. Those etchings were carved into the Peruvian desert between 400 and 650 ACE and are visible by air even today.

This is not the first time the group has messed up and this particular incident is really egregious. Greenpeace has a history of not only poorly planned actions but also humanitarian crimes. Some other examples are Greenpeace helped to destroy golden rice GMO crop in the Philippines that is made to help human health and pamphleted a New Zealand town the day after a poster cleanup there occurred.

Greenpeace has apologized to the Nazca lines but it is too little too late. They should also beg forgiveness from the families of all of the people who have starved and died resulting from their opposition to genetically modified foods. Of course, the deaths resulting from their campaigns against GMOs was obviously their end goal all along. Based on their prior actions, I can only conclude that their ruining the Nazca Lines was also intentional too. Environmentalist groups like Greenpeace don’t give a damn about humans including ancient monuments.
