Calls for Action is an innovative art installation linking a Western Andean Cloud Forest in Ecuador with Basel, Switzerland – bridging vast distances to show the interconnectivity of Earth’s ecosystems. The forest pictured in the real-time video in the art installation is being permanently conserved with support from the artist and exhibiting institution.

Inviting the public to become participants and protectors, listening and lending their voices to one of our planet’s critical places of biodiversity, the artwork is created by artist julian.charriere. Presented in partnership with fondationbeyeler and Globus Public Art Project, it will be on display until October 6 on the Martkplatz in the heart of Basel, Switzerland.

“Ecuador is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. The Amazon rainforest stretches into the eastern part of the country, and the peaks of the Andes Mountains in the central part of the country are covered in cloud forests. These two ecosystems support an incredible number of species, and the Tropical Andes especially support species found nowhere else in the world.” — Dr. Penny Langhammer, executive vice president of rewild.

The conservation efforts of Calls for Action are facilitated with the support of #ArtintoAcres, an artist-run environmental initiative; Re:wild; and local partner fundacion.jocotoco in Ecuador.
