Ghost Forest Project

Ghost Forest is an original and ambitious project that seeks to raise public awareness of the connections between deforestation and climate change.

The art installation involves taking a series of 10 rainforest tree stumps, most with their buttress roots still attached, from a regulated, commercially logged tropical rainforest in Ghana. The tree stumps were presented as a “ghost forest” initially in Trafalgar Square in London from 16-22 November 2009, and are now moving to Copenhagen for 7-18 December 2009 to coincide with the UN’s COP15 Climate Change Conference.
