Title



Broad belts of pine and birch forest around the town of Monchegorsk are being destroyed by pollution from a nickel plant. Trees, even dozens of miles away, die of acid rain and thus are susceptible to forest fires.
Conservationists mark the few surviving trees in some parts of the forest with red flags and labels to monitor their survival.

Murmansk / Russia, 1993
