THE PROTEST PUPPET

The problem

13,672 HECTARES OF NATIVE FOREST ARE ABOUT TO BURN

Bauxite miners, Alcoa and South32 are planning to clear & burn 13,672 hectares of local forest.

The INSIGHT

MANY swappable INSIGHTS

  1. This practice threatens local water catchment.
  2. A history of poor rehabilitation
  3. Biodiversity loss
  4. Loss of forest access
  5. Loss of rainfall
  6. Plus many more…

The solution

A puppet with a swappable face

Activist, Rikky England planned to hike 250km through the Northern Jarrah forests of Western Australia to raise awareness of this issue. BERLIN provided him with a unique prop – a puppet with many, many faces. He gave scientists, celebrities, politicians and others a ‘shoulder ride’ through the forest to have a conversation with them, and broadcast it to the world.
