The photo series has accompanied environmental protests in Germany since 2015, with a focus on protests against lignite. In this context, the action form of forest occupation has gained great importance in Germany in recent years. Starting with occupations of open-cast lignite mines of the movement "Ende-Gelände", coal mining became a public issue. In this form of civil disobedience, activists shut down coal mines for several days. Starting from Hambacher Forst 2018, various forest occupations developed in Germany. First against the expansion of the Hambach coal mine. Then in 2020 in Dannenrod against the construction of a highway.

Currently in 2022 in Lützerath against the expansion of the Garzweiler open pit mine. This makes Lützerath the last place in Germany to be mined for lignite.

In all of these three occupations, Hambacher Forst, Dannenröder Wald, and Lützerath, activists have built large settlements of dozens of tree houses and built communities. Their goal is to prevent the clearing of the forest or the dismantling of the site. In this way, they make these places a symbol of resistance against the overexploitation of fossil resources and create the possibility to physically block this machinery in the places. Thus the occupations became centers of the radical environmental movement in Germany. So the activists are trying to keep the 1.5 degree limit of global warming.
