غرينبيس تفتقد صديقة عزيزة وزميلة اثر حادث مأساوي في البرازيل

It is with heavy hearts that we can confirm that our dear friend and colleague Carolina Nyberg-Steiser, 29, from Greenpeace Nordic has died in a tragic accident in the Amazon.

Carolina was traveling in a small amphibious plane that crashed during landing on the river Rio Negro near the city of Manaus, capital of the northern state of Amazonas. There is no confirmed information on the causes of the accident. The plane crashed Tuesday around 10.50 AM Manaus time (17.50 CEST).

Carolina was in charge of relationships with global influencers who support environmental causes. She was very dear and respected for her serious work in this field. She came to Brazil to get a closer look at Greenpeace Brazil work in the Amazon in order to think about new possibilities of engagement in the protection of the forest. She was on a flight on Tuesday to see first hand the beauty of the forest.

Carolina will be deeply missed by all of us, and our thoughts are with her family.
