What does it mean to love a forest? In this talk, Ethan Tapper – a forester, content creator and the bestselling author of How to Love a Forest: The Bittersweet Work of Tending a Changing World – will discuss what it means to care for ecosystems at this moment in time. Is it enough to let nature take its course, or is radical action necessary to protect ecosystems, biodiversity and each other?
