Forests are some of our greatest sources of hope: As CO2 storage containers, they slow down climate change, as rainforests they house thousands of species, and if they are well managed, they can provide us with lots of sustainable resources. And yet, things are not looking good for our forests: deforestation in Brasil, mass forest fires in Califorinia and Austrailia and droughts in Europe.
With the support of several scientists, Esther Gonstalla collected extensive data on carbon storage and reforestation and converted them into ›easyto- understand‹ graphics. The book considers trees from root to tip and thereby aids the reader’s understanding of forests as an ecosystem. On top of that, it discusses forest conservation projects and provides ways of sustainably handling wood in everyday life.
