One planet. One chance.

Forests are the lungs of our planet, sustaining life through hidden networks as intricate as the Internet itself. In “Wood Wide Web”, Anne de Carbuccia journeys from the Amazon rainforest to the woodlands of Estonia to uncover these silent connections and the threats they now face. Following Earth Protectors Jared Cairuna Cauper, an Indigenous Ranger in Peru, and Ettie Mikita, a technology consultant in Estonia, “Wood Wide Web” reveals how communities separated by continents are united in defending forests under siege. From ancient knowledge rooted in the Amazon to cutting-edge innovation in Northern Europe, their stories demonstrate how culture, science, and technology can work together to protect ecosystems vital for human and planetary survival.

Through poetic imagery and personal testimony, “Wood Wide Web” shows that forests are more than resources to be exploited: they are living, breathing systems that bind us all, and their survival is inseparable from our own.
