GHOST FOREST IN TRAFALGAR SQUARE


Huge tree stumps from the jungles of Africa is to form a dramatic artwork in London's Trafalgar Square, the display aims to highlight the threat of deforestation.

Angela Palmer who ventured to a remote logging camp in the west of the country, her hope is to raise awareness of the rate at which tropical forests are being cleared and the resulting impact on global warming.

The destruction of tropical rainforests currently releases nearly one-fifth of all man-made greenhouse gases.

"For some people, the stumps may appear to be beautiful sculptures.
"But for others they'll evoke the stark landscapes of the First World War where only the splintered tree stumps remained." she said.
