BENEATH THE CANOPY

SPRING/SUMMER DROP

Beneath the Canopy - Spring/Summer Drop is a collection that continues the travel made in the previous Drop. It is inspired by Crown Shyness, a natural phenomenon that occurs among trees and can be observed in tropical forests and that reminds us that even apart we all live under the same canopy.

This is so importante in this crazy times that we are facing. What also is very important and SIZ aims to raise awareness to is the many dangers that threaten our beautiful jungles, among them deforestation. Jungles only take up 7% of the earth’s surface but they are vital to the planet and our existence. And they are the habitat with the most diverse range of flora and fauna on the planet. Today the biodiversity of jungles is in danger. Mostly in danger, are the Orangutans, our closest ancestor. In the last four decades the lowland jungle that orangutans depend on have declined by 75%. This is mainly because of palm oil plantations. Today we have replaced 27 million hectares of jungle with palm oil trees.
