A forest massif is a great diversity of plant species and a large quantity of animal species.

For a tree, a living species is either a friend, what specialists call an auxiliary;

or an enemy, what technicians call a pest.

Year in and year out, this whole forest ensemble achieves a certain balance.

But now, the man put his hand in the business.

And this is the beginning of the problems.

First there is climate change, which is global.

Then the needs of human societies increased.

Result: we ask too much of the forest.

It turns out that the forest plays a major role in regulating the climate.

We must therefore regenerate this essential player.

In France, the National Forestry Office is an institution responsible for the management of public forests, placed under the supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and the Ministry of Ecological and Inclusive Transition.

In the North, the Territorial Directorate of the Office National des Forêts du Nord et Pas-de-Calais is responsible for this regeneration.
