with Dima Litvinov

A line in the ice was drawn by Greenpeace, which has made the Arctic the main focus of its global environmental protection efforts. The exploitation of natural resources, especially offshore energy reserves, is a particular cause for concern, as an eventual oil spill in the remote reaches of the Arctic could be catastrophic for the fragile ecosystems there.

Think Globally Radio this week speaks with Dima Litvinov, a crew member of the Arctic Sunrise, which was detained by Russian authorities last year as Greenpeace staged a direct action on the Prirazlomnaya platform in the Barents Sea.
