Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Reforestation is not as easy as planting trees. Plant life is vital for the planet, and it's interconnected to everything. The soil, the microorganisms, the microbiota, the local environment, weather patterns, even disease's expansion or control. It's more than CO2. More and more, it's becoming an existencial issue, to understand the role of an interconnected chain of life on the planet where everything has an essential role. Even scientists who support this since long ago and were laughed at or simply denied any platform are now on the forefront trying to change the old reforestation paradigm.
