Standing up for the preservation of the forest... Tree house in Hambach Forest, environmental activists occupy trees to protest against the clearing of the forest for open-cast lignite mining. Hambach Forest became a nationally recognised symbol of resistance in the fight against climate change and global warming. For years, environmental and climate activists lived in tree houses to protest against deforestation. Hambach Forest, Düren district, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, Western Europe
