With its large-format images by international photographers, this book offers an intensive look at our planet's forests - emotional, surprising, and captivating. In various chapters, the illustrated book shows forest areas from Brazil to the Congo to Europe, focusing on the unique diversity of flora and fauna, as well as the indigenous people whose habitat in the forest is becoming increasingly smaller. Of course, the catalog also documents the dramatic consequences of the destruction of this vital ecosystem through slash-and-burn agriculture. A comprehensive and impressive work that opens up entirely new and unknown perspectives on the topic of forests
