Protest against Planned Logging in Hambach Forest
Six members of the German Coal Commission protest against RWE´s plans for logging in Hambach Forest. Executive directors of environmental organisations, renewable energy and persons concerned by lignite mining symbolically adopt trees in Hambach forest. The signs read:" Hambach Forest. This tree may not die for coal". Hambach Forest (German: Hambacher Forst, Buergewald) is a forest rich in biodiversity and home to 142 species regarded as important for conservation.
Only ten percent of Hambach Forest still remains and these sections are under threat of being cut down to allow the expansion of the lignite-extracting Hambach surface mine, run by RWE.
