This groundbreaking book, set to release in 2024, highlights the urgent need for a wilder, equitable future for forest-dependent communities.

Perfect for eco-enthusiasts, environmental historians, and policymakers alike, this book invites a rethinking of our relationship with nature in the face of global economic pressures.
