Our forests are in great distress around the world, due to dramatic climatic changes and due to the deliberate desecration of forests by short-sighted, greedy people. Again and again I visit forests all over the world, where I was made aware of the beauty and suffering of trees in a way I had never experienced before. Often I have the feeling of seeing something human in the trees, how they found support or death in the circle of their family. I hope to generate compassion in other people as well - compassion for our sensitive nature, which is the basis for our life on this vulnerable planet.
