'Ghost forest' stalking Europe

'幽靈森林'震驚歐洲(圖)

Giant trees from Ghana have appeared in Copenhagen, Trafalgar Square in London, and now Oxford, as artist Angela Palmer wanted to share her concern with the public about tropical rainforests. Under the Ghost Forest Art Project, Palmer hauled a collection of stumps from the commercially logged western Ghana. Since Europe is a major consumer of rainforest wood, and there are no rainforests in Europe, she decided to bring the rainforest to Europe.(See photo)

這些巨樹來自加納。它們去過哥本哈根，途徑倫敦特拉法爾加廣場，現在，它們又抵達牛津。這項名為"幽靈森林藝術"的計劃由藝術家安吉拉·帕爾默發起，她希望借此途徑喚起公眾對熱帶雨林的保護意識。帕爾默從遭受商業濫伐的加納西部收集了一批巨大樹根，千里迢迢將其運往歐洲。歐洲是雨林木材的主要消費地區，而當地卻沒有雨林，因此帕爾默決定讓歐洲看看"雨林"。(見圖)
