Description
Controversy erupted in March 2005 when George Bush's administration authorised the logging industry to cut into sections of forestland set aside for threatened wildlife. An activist group called the Forest Defenders took action. Labelled 'radicals' and 'eco-terrorists' by the timber industry, these activists are fighting to save some of the truly wild places left in America. Here is a documentation of the much-maligned advocates who are sacrificing their freedoms and comforts to stand up for wildlands.
Author Biography
Christopher LaMarca studied Environmental Studies and Biology at the University of Oregon, a degree that led him to pursue photographic projects documenting environmental issues. His work on the protection of old growth forests against logging garnered him numerous awards, including PDN's 30 New and Emerging Photographers To Watch and the NPPA's Best of Photojournalism. His Forest Defenders project was featured in the 2006-2007 ICP triennial, Ecotopia, and was published in Aperture and Art Review. His clients include Volvo, Newsweek, Time, Fortune, The Fader, and Outside, among others.
