An investigation into large-scale tree planting reveals the complex truth behind simple promises.
Planting one trillion trees has been presented
as a powerful response to the climate
crisis, embraced by governments, NGOs
and companies around the world. But what
happens when a simple solution meets the
complexity of forests and ecosystems?
“Treewashing – The Planting Illusion”
investigates the reality behind large-scale tree
planting campaigns, speaking with scientists,
experts and people on the ground to uncover
what these promises really mean – and what
forests truly need.
A film for everyone who wants to look beyond
simple solutions.
The screening on Th 8th is followed by a talk with Matthias Stefan
(University of Innsbruck).
