3D Fire Amazon Forest Projection in Vienna, Austria

Greenpeace Austria brought the raging fires in the Amazon into the heart of Vienna - using a spectacular 3D video mapping projection in front of the world-famous Karlskirche. The art installation with a length of around 100 meters visualised the deliberately set fires in the Amazon rainforest. Most of these fires are caused by illegal slash-and-burn agriculture, among other things for cattle grazing, and backed by the dismantling of environmental protections by President Jair Bolsonaro’s government and the international markets’ demand for meat, animal feed, minerals, and timber. The EU imports goods from Brazil such as soy feed and meat. The planned EU-Mercosur pact would fuel the destruction of the Amazon further. Greenpeace demands a stop of the trade pact and the adoption of a new and strong EU forest law to ensure that nothing sold in Europe is linked to forest destruction.
