A book and exhibition documenting four years of visits to the boreal zone made to gather stories of the forests and people who live there compiled. Eight sections detailing realities ranging from lives of loggers in Norway to scientific research in Japan

Trees remove our carbon emissions from of the atmosphere, and are thus a key weapon in our fight against climate change. With the impact of climate change being seen and felt increasingly clearly, it is important that the stories of the forests are heard to let people worry and care for them. A forest is much more than its trees. It’s an interconnected system that cannot be replaced easily when we lose it.
