About the project (provided by the applicant)
We need to reforest ourselves. There is no separation between nature and people. There is only nature. Ecology encompasses everything: humans, animals, trees, rivers, fish, rain, wind, and sun. The forest is everything, the visible and the invisible, a vast intelligent organism. At this moment, the genes we share with trees speak to us, and we can feel the greatness of the forest. It’s about sensing life in others, in a mountain, in a bird, and becoming involved. The presence of other beings not only adds to the landscape but changes everything. Either you hear the voice of all other beings sharing the planet with you, or you wage war against life on Earth.
