Video. Brazil: a mural made with the ashes of the Amazon

Tired of seeing the lush Amazon destroyed for many years, Brazilian street artist Mundano decided to let nature speak for itself: he painted a giant mural in Sao Paolo using the ashes he collected from the burned rainforest, in order to raise awareness about climate change.

Tired of seeing the lush Amazon destroyed for many years, Brazilian street artist Mundano decided to let nature speak for itself: he painted a giant mural in Sao Paolo using the ashes he collected from the burned rainforest, in order to raise awareness about climate change.

The giant 1,000-square-meter mural, titled "The Forest Firefighter," features a heroic character helplessly facing a raging fire.

Mundano, 36, gathered 200 kilograms of ashes from different areas affected by fires to create the mural on a building near Avenida Paulista, the main avenue that runs through Brazil's largest city.
