Those without a fireplace commonly turn on a fireplace channel or video to inspire a warm and cozy atmosphere during the holiday season and this year, agency Zulu Alpha Kilo created its own take on this concept with a message that's more heartbreaking than heartwarming. The agency created The Rainforest Fire Channel for the Amazon Rainforest Conservancy, helping to bring awareness to the fact that the Amazon is being destroyed.
While the burning of the Amazon received a lot of coverage earlier this year, the news died down. Inspired by classic fireplace channels, this initiative shares a 24/7 livestream of "crackling logs of the Amazon burning" and encourages people to make a donation in support of the Amazon Rainforest Conservancy.
