NEWS UPDATE: A Greenpeace direct communication tells Nobu to stop serving bluefin tuna
Greenpeace activists visited London Nobu restaurants – part owned by Robert De Niro – to stop it serving bluefin tuna. Activists
used bluefin silhouettes to ask celebrity diners on Nobu’s first floor restaurants to tell Nobu to take bluefin off the menu. Nobu
knows that bluefin tuna is just as endangered as gorilla, rhino and tiger, yet is still serving the species.
Clockwise from main picture: A Greenpeace activist greets diners with a spoof Nobu menu containing dishes made from other species that are as endangered as bluefin, eg Siberian Tiger, Gorilla
and Polar Bear / Sugababe Amelle poses with Greenpeace activists, telling Nobu to take bluefin off the menu / Comedy actor Jack Black and friends enter the restaurant clutching a spoof menu /
Clean graffiti – created by cleaning away dirt instead of painting over it – appears outside Nobu.
