TRILLION TREES (PB)

Trees are essential, for nature and for us. Yet we are cutting and burning them at such a rate that we are fast approaching a tipping point. But there is still hope. If we had a trillion more trees, the damage could be undone. Combining cutting-edge scientific research with vivid travel writing, Fred Pearce challenges the received wisdom about the need for planting. The best strategy is to stand back, stop the destruction and let nature - and those who dwell in the forests - do the rest.
