How to live with tropical forests?
In South America, in South-East Asia, in the Congo Basin ... How to rethink together, with the men and women who live there, the restoration of tropical forests?
Publicity
In Africa, South America, South-East Asia, how can we seriously and sustainably consider the safeguard and restoration of tropical forest basins (without taking into account the men and women who live there and who live there interdependently).
What could be more complex than these relationships, these links, these interweaving woven for millennia between humans and tropical forests?
What if to fight against deforestation in the Amazon or in the Congo Basin, it was no longer just a question of putting forests under cover, but of thinking together about the joint future of humans and forests?
What if the solutions were to seek better management of the forest, on a case-by-case basis, and with all its inhabitants?
