Immerath – Germany

The Hambach forest, in Germany’s west, which is being cleared by coal company RWE so it can dig up more coal to be burned in nearby plants. RWE continues to expand mines for coal that is unlikely to be needed, leading to the unnecessary destruction of the forest and many nearby villages. Greg McNevin / Europe Beyond Coal
