Every single minute forest regions with the size of 36 football fields
disappear from our planet. Such a massive removal of trees without
sufficient reforestation results in biodiversity loss, habitat damage and
aridity. Deforested regions typically incur significant adverse soil
erosion and frequently degrade into wasteland. Nowadays
deforestation accounts for about 20 percent of the global greenhouse
gas emission which drastically affects global warming and climate
change.
In concordance with the United Nation's
International Year of Forests, Strychnin Gallery
present s ‘The Enchanted Fores t ‘ an
international charity group show curated by
Yasha Young and Giovanni Cervi that is
dedicated to the forests and their inhabitants all
over the world. The show should remind people
of the drastic damage that is constantly done to
our forests as well as their beauty, uniqueness
and importance. Many lovingly and elaborately
crafted sculptures as well as paintings and
photographs by over 30 international artists will
display both the desolation of deforestation and
the forest‘s magic and liveliness that we have to
save.
