Fight for Forest
Since 2012 the Hambach Forest in Germany 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.
I have started this longterm reportage in September 2018 shortly before the grand scale eviction of activists and destruction of the treehouses and continue working on it, showing the work and live of the climate activists in this symbol and hotspot of civil disobidience.
