Forests cover one-third of the land on our planet.
Not only are they fundamental carbon sinks, but they also host 80% of terrestrial biodiversity, including most birds and mammals. In addition to combating climate change and preserving nature, forests are pivotal to human life, providing nourishment and fuel, and preventing soil erosion.
In times of Corona, the little things of the past have become the big desires of the present. I don’t dream of visiting the Great Wall of China, but of being able to sit in a caffè and drink a latte macchiato. The fact that I can drink the same latte macchiato at home doesn’t diminish the longing one bit. On the contrary, it makes it grow every day. I try to remember the last time I ate out and realise that it was last year. The desires become smaller but their fulfilment more difficult, or even almost hopeless.
