The apology rings hollow. I hope the participants AND their leaders who endorsed this action see jail time.
While polluters in this nation get off with a slap on the wrist and the GOP Congress guts the EPA?
Greenpeace is assumed to be experts in their field. Conservation of archaeological sites, especially WORLD HERITAGE SITES, is the responsibility of all the peoples of this planet. To have "experts" in the field do something this asinine is beyond the pale.
Yes, jail time is warranted for this. It would be like having a doctor use his position and reputation to molest people in his office.
How about GP do a fundraiser instead to help restore and preserve the monument?
Wouldn't that be a more fitting punishment instead of mere vengence that will just cost the Peruvian taxpayers money?
No. Using other peoples money to fix YOUR mistake does nothing. Now, if they had to do the work themselves in the hot Peruvian sun. That I could get behind.
I am sure that they will have plenty of volunteers willing to do just that.

And that too would not be proper. The idiots who engaged in the vandalism are the ones who should do the work. No volunteers. THE CULPRITS are the ones who do the work.
