Images show vast tracts of land cleared to grow palm oil sit alongside beautiful shots of natural world threatened by deforestation in a poignant new exhibition at Kew Gardens.
Focus on the Rainforests highlights the threat facing jungle in the Amazon Basin, Democratic Republic of Congo and Indonesia and the importance of its role in fighting climate change.
Sounds, video and even smells will accompany the images taken by Spanish photographer Daniel Beltra, who won this year's Prince's Rainforests Project Award at the Sony World Photography Awards.
Opens on Satruday and runs until 6th December. The showcase will then tour to Paris and Berlin.
