Climate and the rainforest

Rainforests are tightly intertwined with the climate: while forests are suffering from global warming, they are also the key to climate protection.

Destruction of the rainforest

Palm oil – deforestation for everyday products

Palm oil is literally everywhere – in our foods, cosmetics, cleaning products and fuels. How could it come to this? What can we do to protect people and nature?

Compacted aluminum cans

Aluminum – a light metal with a massive impact

Yoghurt lids, beverage cans, deodorants – aluminum is everywhere. Mining its raw material, bauxite, lays waste to vast swathes of forest and other land.

Industrialized meat production – rainforest on our plates

Burgers, steaks, chicken wings – more and more meat is ending up on our dinner tables. What are the consequences of our meat habit for the environment and our climate?
