Scientist and conservationist Suzanne Simard explores how forests operate as interconnected ecosystems, how industrial practices disrupt their natural cycles, and how sustainability can be supported through natural processes and Indigenous land management.

Forests play a vital role in sustaining life on Earth, yet they are often understood as little more than collections of densely packed trees and wildlife, rather than complex, interconnected systems.

In When the Forest Breathes, Suzanne Simard explains how forests function through cycles of growth, death, and renewal that support biodiversity and regulate the planet's climate.

Drawing on brand new scientific research, Simard examines how industrial forestry practices have disrupted these natural processes.

Highlighting land management approaches that work with, rather than against, these systems, Simard shines a light on Indigenous communities that have long been ignored and sidelined.
