Protesters fought for it, they battled the police for it, they even lived in it. 6 years later, Hambach forest might no longer be in jeopardy.

    How can a government allows a 12,000 year-old forest be decimated for economic interests? Collusion, ignorance, corruption. So sad.

    It is important to come together and support with our actions important projects like this one. Thank you so much for putting your lives on the line for this forest. What do you need from the general public for the forest to be permanently protected?
