Shocking Effects Of Deforestation Exposed In Brutal Print Ads

ADVERTISEMENT

These images are gruesome and brutal, but they have to be shown because of their important message – they raise awareness of the often unseen casualties of deforestation around the world. Creative and art director Ganesh Prasad Acharya, together with copywriter Kaushik Katty Roy, created these social ads for Sanctuary Asia, one of the first and greatest environmental news magazines in India.

The slogan on these ads, “When the wood go, wildlife goes” drives home the point made by these macabre images – when you cut down habitats, you might as well kill the animals that live there as well. Rainforests contain as much as 80% of the world’s biodiversity, so their rapid destruction in South America and Asia is a serious problem.

There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

Pretty hectic images, but a bit boring. all things happening from the left side of image and the photoshopped branch stands out so much.

Well, it's a collection of print ads, not a gallery. There's no need for variability when the pictures are supposed to go alone anyway.

The comments below are a testament to the ignorance of the world. Rather than see a message you chose to critique the penmanship .

A bit repetitive, not that creative... The shock value got reduced with each subsequent pic...

Not all of these shown go into the same publication. One version will go into different publications - it is the same campaign, people...

For those of you saying "they're all pretty much the same"... it's an ad campaign, people. They will only be using ONE version per magazine.

The whole problem is world overpopulation! When will we ever do something to curb births and eliminate about half of all humans now alive??

That's true, but everybody want something made with wood. We need to go back to jungle, or plant threes again.
