Reservoir of biodiversity, climate regulator by storing carbon, protector of soils and water resources: the services provided to humanity by forests are immeasurable. Without forgetting their mysteries and their majesty which have always fascinated men.
But today the forest is suffering everywhere in the world. Trees are weakened by water stress, the invasion of exotic species, the increase in temperature and extreme weather events, such as the megafires that burned several French forest areas this summer.
Faced with these threats of forest dieback, many initiatives are multiplying to save them, by respecting the diversity of species and selecting species adapted to global warming. Some of them are large-scale and can be supported. In 2021, the photographer Sebastião Salgado and his wife Lélia have reached their goal of replanting two million trees of 293 different species on 700 ha. Botanist Francis Hallé proposes to reconstitute an intact primary forest of 70,000 ha in the heart of Europe. Forest Destination, plans to regenerate 50,000 ha of forest by 2030.
This session will be introduced by Mrs. Lélia WANICK SALGADO and Mr. Laurent BOILLOT and Mrs. Sebastião SALGADO.
