Exploring the interplay of cutting-edge science and Indigenous knowledge, this engaging book navigates challenges, greenwashing pitfalls and the possible solutions shaping the future of ecosystems and our relationship with nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs we clear millions of hectares of forests globally, the challenge of restoring these precious ecosystems becomes ever more pressing. The stakes are high: a staggering 95% of Earth’s land could succumb to degradation by 2050. While the task might appear straightforward – simply plant millions of trees – the reality is far more perplexing. Haphazard tree-planting in unsuitable locations can wreak havoc on ecosystems and jeopardise the livelihoods of local communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surge of interest in restoring forests has ushered in a wave of greenwashing, where deceptive environmental marketing and scientific mishaps undermine genuine efforts. Yet this new focus also brings forth a plethora of solutions and many rays of hope. Amidst such a landscape, cutting-edge science and Indigenous knowledge together can redefine our understanding in a way that not only helps regenerate nature but also allows human communities to thrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis original, topical and engaging book navigates the complex realm of forest restoration. It reveals how a nuanced approach is required – one that integrates the latest scientific advancements (for instance in microbial ecology, acoustic technology and epigenetics), Indigenous leadership and a holistic understanding of the interconnectedness of life within these vital ecosystems. \u003cem\u003eTreewilding\u003c\/em\u003e asks us to reflect on our relationship with trees and how we must see the woods (intricate social and ecological systems) for the wood (timber) – a realisation that is perhaps the biggest ‘secret’ to restoring nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41764269949025,"sku":"9781784274801","price":20.01,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_12645937_12085_20241125122314.jpg?v=1732543377","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781784274801-treewilding","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
