Ayu from Central Kalimantan in Indonesia reports on the recent fires and floods which have been increasing every year. The local community believe that the widespread cutting of rainforest to make way for palm oil plantations has degraded the ability of the environment to manage the excesses of climate change and ecosystem destruction. Ayu hopes her film will help people understand the real impacts of climate change and inspire their own actions.
