A wonderful presentation from an inspiring individual! Everyone needs to hear it. Nature knows what it is doing - the answers are beneath our feet....

If all the trees are clearcut, rain can’t follow the roots into the water table. Without transpiration trees can’t moisten the atmosphere and retain the water table. So it gets hotter when sunlight falls on bare earth instead of a 30 metre tall insulated tree canopy. When it gets hotter with dryer air, the weather changes. If the weather changes often the climate is affected. Winds change, it rains less and the rains run right off because The forest is our sponge and heat absorber Hank Cameron Cherryville, BC

Thank you Suzanne, my all time hero. I actually live on the ancestral lands of Subiyay and the Skokomish. Had no idea. I am so glad to know his legacy.

Thank you for this beautiful talk . The message from the Amazon is encouraging.

Since I was boy I loved being in the trees! It’s home to me! Seeing clear cut feels like genocide to me!

I ask you to look at a map of Wisconsin, a satellite photo that is, you can literally see Menominee county boundaries! They practice sustainable forestry!
