How Ancient Forests Can Save Us If We Let Them

Peter Wohlleben, author of The Times bestseller, 'The Hidden Life of Trees', compares tree planting to battery farming and argues that trees will survive environmental disaster but suggests that we won’t be around to see that happen if we don’t make changes now.
