From the Sivens forest in France to the Hambach forest in Germany,
from the Broadback forest in Canada to the rainforests of Borneo,
something has shifted in these wild spaces over the last decade or
two. People have begun to inhabit the forests, oppose the loggers
and use their bodies as shields, motivated by the determination to
resist the lethal ecosystem of commercial exploitation. Forests
have become a battleground in the struggle between groups with
fundamentally divergent aims and objectives. Forests are
made up of insurgents. Jean-Baptiste Vidalou went to see
some of these forests and meet those who are defending them: he
discovered a completely different way of understanding the world,
sharply opposed to the mentality of planners who see forests as
just one more territory to be managed. Here he recounts this
encounter, relays what these forest peoples and struggles convey,
not to offer any recipes or ready-made solutions to the crises of
our times but to be the forest, like a force that grows, stem
by stem, leaf by leaf, slowly becoming ungovernable.
