🌳 My book #Treewilding is now out in paperback!! 🌳 We're cutting down forests faster than we know how to bring them back. And "bring them back" is more complicated than just 'planting trees'. Real restoration means treating a forest as a living, connected system 1/

As climates shift, vectors, hosts and pathogens shift too. Disease patterns can move into new regions, and new interfaces emerge. Among other things, climate change is biological rearrangement! 1/
