Rising temperatures and increasing drought not only contribute to forest fires, but also to the spread of pests such as bark beetles. About 81.4% of logging is due to forest damage.

In 2022, 78.7 million cubic meters of wood were felled in German forests. What is significant is the sharp increase in logging for energy production of 31.9% compared to the ten-year average from 2012 to 2021. Logging for energy production has thus reached its highest level since German reunification. At the same time, rainforests are being cut down to grow palm and soy plantations.
In her new project, Schokofeh Kamiz represents the monocultural and industrial relationship that humans have built with trees. A relationship with devastating consequences for forests and people.
