Throughout the world, in Canada or Mexico for example experiments in settling in forested areas are increasing. The authors of this book went in search of these forests and those who defend them. They discovered countless continents within them, unusual paths, ungovernable beings: an entire geography which finally gave them room to breathe.
The struggles resound with the same idea everywhere: the forest is not a biomass reserve, a future development area, a source of carbon; the forest is an insurgent people, self defense in the process of organizing itself, growing dream worlds.
