A Life in Trees I Climate Activists in the Hambach Forest
Since 2012 the Hambach Forest is occupied by climate activists, who protect the forest from clearing by living in treehouses, that are build upto 28 meters high. Next to the Hambach Forest is a big browncoal open mine, run by RWE corp., that is digging away the forest, but now had to stop due to the occupation and a judgement to stop the clearing. Regulary the treehouses get evicted and destroyed, but the activists keep coming back.
