Indigenous peoples are among the worst affected by rainforest deforestation. What can art do in the face of this destruction? We show solutions from Cameroon, plus how artists in Brazil are fighting to save the Amazon.

What answers does art have for the fragile state of the world? Art can be a warning, shake things up, and look for solutions.
