Shocking Effects Of Deforestation Exposed In Brutal Print Ads
These images are gruesome and brutal, but they have to be shown because of their important message – they raise awareness of the often unseen casualties of deforestation around the world. Creative and art director Ganesh Prasad Acharya, together with copywriter Kaushik Katty Roy, created these social ads for Sanctuary Asia, one of the first and greatest environmental news magazines in India.
The slogan on these ads, “When the wood go, wildlife goes” drives home the point made by these macabre images – when you cut down habitats, you might as well kill the animals that live there as well. Rainforests contain as much as 80% of the world’s biodiversity, so their rapid destruction in South America and Asia is a serious problem.

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "yoo-hoo"

Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you, you-hoo-hoo
Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap

Giddy yap, giddy yap, giddy yap
It's grand, just holding your hand
We're riding along to the song of a wintry fairyland
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "yoo-hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you, you-hoo-hoo

Christmas song: "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" by Sam Smith | video, lyrics and interactive activity
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.
Click on the picture above and have fun with the interactive exercise!

Christmas Video Song - «All I Need Is Love» - CeeLo Green Feat. The Muppets
Ladies and gentlemen!
Uh huh?
May I introduce to you!
Who?
CEEEEE LOOOOO
Green!
What's up guys, how you doin'?
What do you want for Christmas, Cee Lo?
For Christmas?
All I need is love
Aw, yeah
All I need is love
Yeah
All I need is lo-lo-love
Color-coordinated Bentleys
Watches, car, the agent sent me
A sixty inch in every room
All I wanna see is you
Got the cash to take vacations
To a beach in every nation
I don't wanna be a Scrooge
But I'm not going without you
Santa don't know what to get me
I just wanna see my baby
All I need is love
Aw, yeah
All I need is love
Yeah
All I need is lo-lo-love
All I need is you
Baby, all I need
You
Baby, all I need
All I need is lo-lo-love
Diamonds on my mistletoe
But that can't buy you love, you know
Yeah, I'd give it all away
For just the chance to see your face
I'd take a jet or hop a train
Or maybe Rudolph knows the way? I don't know!
To where you are, this Christmas Eve
'Cause just one kiss is all I need!
Santa, won't you come and get me
And take me where I'll find my baby
All I need is love
Aw, just love
All I need is love
Yeah
All I need is lo-lo-love
All I need is you
Baby, all I need
You
Baby, all I need
All I need is lo-lo-love
Come on Mr. Santa, if you could
Steamed, baked, or or fried, I'm always good!
I only stole one little heart this year
But it was from a shrimp, who really cares?
It's time to make his list and check it twice
So I hope he likes his seafood naughty and spiced
You got something bad to say about this crustacean?
You'd better clam up 'til after Christmas vacation
Santa, won't you come and get me
And take me where I'll find my baby
All I need is love
Please, Santa
All I need is love
Yeah
All I need is lo-lo-love
All I need is you
Baby, all I need
You
Baby, all I need
All I need is lo-lo-love
Santa, bring my baby
Baby, baby, please
All I need is you
Baby, all I need
All I need is lo-lo-love
All I need is lo-lo-love
I think the Muppets hit a new low
Yeah, and his first name is Cee!

Christmas song: "All I want for Christmas is you" by One Direction: video and lyrics
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you, yeah.
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
And I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
Oh, all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?
Won't you please bring my baby to me?
Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh, I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want for Christmas is you, baby
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you, yeah.
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking

With a toy on Christmas Day
