Famous landscape paintings have been recreated without trees by an Edinburgh University scientist to draw attention to the value of woods and forests.<\/p>\n
Dr Iain Woodhouse removed trees from Constable\u2019s The Haywain, Seurat\u2019s Sunday afternoon on the Island of Grande Jatte, and Van Gogh\u2019s Olive Trees with Yellow Sky and Sun.<\/p>\n
He hopes his work will highlight the threat of global deforestation.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cIt is crucial that trees do not disappear from our landscapes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr Woodhouse, an expert in the satellite mapping of forests, used photo-editing software to erase the trees from the famous works.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cTrees are a vital global resource, providing fuel, shelter, clean water and food for many species including people, and helping to maintain a healthy atmosphere by harvesting carbon dioxide.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
