From living in trees for months on end to lying in front of bulldozers, eco-activists are notorious for finding attention-grabbing ways of getting their message across.
But members of the environmentalist group F*** For Forest have taken green campaigning to new - and obscene - extremes, by using porn to raise money for the world's threatened rainforests.
The Norwegian non-profit organisation charges subscribers £10 per month to view footage of staff members and volunteers having sex on its website, then puts the proceeds towards rainforest conservation projects in South America.
The group say the money they make goes directly to eco-projects and cuts out middle-men
Founded in 2004 by Tommy Hol Ellingsen and his Swedish partner Leona Johansson, FFF is the subject of a new documentary by Michal Marczak, who followed the group's exhibitionist members as they journey to the Amazon rainforest to work with a threatened Peruvian tribe.
Hol Ellingsen told the Guardian he saw no reason why sex and sexual imagery should not be used to promote good causes.
'The human body is considered more offensive and threatening than most other things in the industrial world, like cars, but I don't see the naked body as a threat to the morals or values of modern society,' he said.
The group's founder said he saw no reason why sex and sexual imagery should not be used to promote good causes
'Why we are destroying the planet may be somehow connected to the values modern humans have created for themselves.'
Well......what do you think?
