Beyond the Canopy – About this podcast

Trailer of the Forest Landscape Stories (newly Beyond the Canopy) podcast.

We are going to talk about inspiring examples in sustainable forest landscape restoration.

Science gives evidence, that climate change is already harming the world’s ecosystems. However, people were more concerned about climate change 25 years ago.

This shows us, that negative news has not been successful in frightening people into caring.

We need more positive examples of successful restoration projects that inspire and catalyze positive action.

In this podcast, you will learn about outstanding people and projects. How they have contributed in their unique way to the restoration of healthy landscapes.

We start soon. Thanks for tuning in.
