Brazilian street artist Mundano's latest work incorporates ash from forest fires and mud from flooding in Brazil to create a giant mural pleading for a stop to deforestation.

The mural was inaugurated on Wednesday on the side of an 11-floor building in the center of Latin America's largest city, adding a colorful and pointed message to Sao Paulo's rich collection of graffiti.
