Wow, file under stupidity and hubris... The activists entered a “strictly prohibited” area beside the figure of a hummingbird, the culture ministry said. They laid big yellow cloth letters reading: “Time for Change! The Future is Renewable.” The message was intended for delegates from 190 countries at the UN climate talks being held in Lima. The ground around the site is so sensitive and so sacred that Peru has even forbidden presidents and top officials to walk where the Greenpeace activists went. Perus Deputy Culture Minister told the BBC: You walk there, and the footprint is going to last hundreds or thousands of years. Tourists generally get to see the site from the air, or, on rare occasions, are equipped with special foot gear. io9/this-greenpeace-stunt-may-have-irreparably-damaged-peru-1669728616?utm_campaign=socialflow_io9_facebook&utm_source=io9_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow
