One of the most precious thing in the world : a tree.
This tree is 400 years old.

It still stands strong, tall and proud because of a complex cooperative system.

The world has so much to learn from him and above all we need him for our own survival. « Suzanne Simard has shown how trees use a network of soil fungi to communicate their needs and aid neighboring plants.
Now she’s warning that threats like clear-cutting and climate change could disrupt these critical networks. :
We need to bring in human aspects to this so that we understand deeper, more viscerally, what’s going on in these living creatures, species that are not just these inanimate objects.
We also started to understand that it’s not just resources moving between plants. It’s way more than that.
A forest is a cooperative system, and if it were all about competition, then it would be a much simpler place. Why would a forest be so diverse? Why would it be so dynamic?

To me, using the language of communication made more sense because we were looking at not just resource transfers, but things like defense signaling and kin recognition signaling.
The behavior of plants, the senders and the receivers, those behaviors are modified according to this communication or this movement of stuff between them.

Also, we as human beings can relate to this better.
If we can relate to it, then we’re going to care about it more.
If we care about it more, then we’re going to do a better job of stewarding our landscapes. »
