Summary:
"In A Trillion Trees, veteran environmental journalist Fred Pearce takes readers on a whirlwind journey through some of the most spectacular
forests
around the world. Along the way, he charts the extraordinary pace of forest destruction, and explores why some are beginning to recover. With vivid, observant reporting, Pearce transports readers to the remote cloud
forests
of Ecuador, the remains of a forest civilization in Nigeria, a mystifying mountain peak in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, and the boreal
forests
of western Canada and the United States, where devastating wildfires are linked to suppressing the natural fire cycles of
forests
and the maintenance practices of Indigenous peoples. Throughout the book, Pearce interviews the people who traditionally live in
forests
. He speaks to Indigenous peoples in western Canada and the United States who are fighting to control their traditional forested lands and manage them according to their traditional practices. He visits and speaks with Nepalese hill dwellers, Kenyan farmers, and West African sawyers who show him that
forests
are as much human landscapes as they are natural paradises. The lives of humans are now imprinted in forest ecology. At the heart of Pearce's investigationis a provocative argument: planting more trees isn't the answer to declining
forests
. If given room and left to their own devices,
forests
and the people who live in them will fight back to restore their own domain."--Goodreads.
