Forests first
Reflections on the human territorial footprint in the context of the climate impasse
The world we inherit today is one in which the forest has become simply “a large expanse covered with trees”. The environmental impasse, the sixth mass extinction and global warming are all consequences of this. It is urgent for “modern man” to rediscover “the fundamental twofold necessity of the forest”. This project initiates reflections on a Forest that becomes foris and selve: a necessary outside.
