The forest is so much more than trees! Because the forest is our key to understanding the world, says Peter Wohlleben, Germany's most famous forester. In his new work Waldwissen (together with biologist Pierre L. Ibisch), he sheds light on the thicket of a highly complex ecosystem. Using fascinating examples from nature, he shows the unimagined interplay of plants, animals, microbes, viruses, fungi – a world in which no element can exist without the other: the forest as supercomputer, bioreactor, builder and rainmaker. We humans are also part of this finely balanced system. Our entire development is inextricably linked to the forest. But how can we manage forests without destroying the basis for our existence? Together we look into the future of the forest, and thus into the future of mankind.
