Ghost statues by artist Jakub Hadrava are placed at the St. George's church near Plzen on November 16, 2014 in Lukova, Czech Republic. Artist Jakub Hadrava created 32 empty plaster life-size ghost statues, which symbolize Sudeten Germans who lived in the village. St. George's church, which was built in the north-western Bohemian region of the Czech Republic in 1352, fell into disrepair after the roof collapsed during a funeral service in 1968. Hadrava's aim is to make the church more attractive for visitors and to gain money for renovation work. According to voluntary church manager Petr Koukl, about 2,500 people from around the world have been visiting the church this year. (Matej Divizna/Getty Images) #

Men push a log out of the water near Okobaba sawmill at the edge of the Lagos Lagoon in Nigeria on June 24, 2014. Wood, a form of biomass, is the sole source of energy for hundreds of millions of Africans who lack access to modern sources of power, and logging, both legal and illegal, remains a lucrative business that has contributed to the rapid shrinking of Africa's rainforests and woodlands. Nigeria lost just over 2 million hectares of forest annually between 2005-2010 driven by agricultural expansion, logging and infrastructure development, according to U.N. data. It is also among the biggest users of solid fuel for cooking, with over 120 million Nigerians relying on firewood and charcoal for their cooking needs, according to the International Energy Agency.
