“Our economy drives deforestation” - Suzanne Simard on protecting our forests

[@SallyMonkhouse]

Fascinating, so inspiring. I heard Suzanne's lecture when she received the Kew medal in April. She was so genuine and articulate. We all need to try and do some of what she suggests and connect more with our natural world of plants, trees, animals

Absolutely fascinating! I hope to hear podcasts like these in the future😊

Great talk. Really appreciated. ❤

[@peternolan5374]

Incredible scientist! Great interview. Thank you

[@dermotmcguigan1911]

Wonderful interview, thank you Krishnan and Channel 4, such a treat to hear Suzanne Simard and sense her vision and passion. The per capita annual emission in USA is guess-estimated at 16 tons, at the high end of pricing that Simard mentioned, $1,000/ton, that is $16K per person each year.

Amazing information

We are in a symbiotic cycle with trees. The real anthropomorphic misinterpretation is thinking other species are essentially without meaningful consciousness: That we are the only species that could possibly be self aware or have complex minds. Also that mind = linguistic thought. Heck i'm not even sure all humans are self aware.

Most indigenous nations talk pray for the cedar trees and use the bark in ceremonies and use as clothing or carve totem poles and masks. Im thankful as a weaver to share my knowledgeof our accesstors ❤

There's a surprisingly prescient and contemporarily relevant seminal passage from Plato on the effects on water sources, which I found in Strangely Like War, a book on modern industrial deforestation I highly recommend.

If only the UK's #ERGTory Govt dreadful line of Environment Ministers, the UK has suffered for the last13 years would listen and learn from this brilliant tree specialist + Scientist. They have done nothing to help our trees + the v few forests that we have left. The same goes for all right wing political parties, worldwide! #EnoughIsEnough #SaveOurTrees !

I recently received a four sheet official missive that could comfortably have fit on one sheet (by printing on both sides). No kidding, the fourth page said nothing else than "This page is blank, and not a printing error". Personally I don't think I needed notification by post of a cold weather payment anyway.

Where is video image coverage? This video is boaring because talking only.

Things will get even worse if we start building on the green belt and other rural areas to build more residential and commercial real estate.

Trees have the same genetics as us...they are more alive they we might realise

[@enjoyyoursleep1]

Corpaerate, private elitest greed drives deforestation.

[@bereleo]

seria como cereales de ucrania a polonia?? ... pero habría arboles que lo rechazan porque hay un actor mas que esta solventando la comunicacion. .... espero que en las plantas sea menos conflictivo y que se un mundo en el que uno colabora con el otro, respetandolo, sabiendo lo que hace.

[@ali09gaming58]

everything is alive

Soon enough we are all going to eat dirt ...

Your not barking up the wrong tree with that subject but, some would think you are barking mad

[@JohnDoe-wb9ht]

At least the trees are being neighbourly unlike my Romanian neighbours that don't speak English..makes me wonder how they've found employment...at least I guess they're employed, all six of them have a Mercedes each...bet the trees love them.

[@Phil_A_O_Fish]

I bet such conversations between trees have always been rather wooden, haven't they? 👍🤣👍
