About the Book



Discover the intricacies of global forest restoration in Treewilding. Exploring the interplay of cutting-edge science and Indigenous knowledge, this engaging book navigates challenges, greenwashing pitfalls and the possible solutions.



Book Synopsis



As we clear millions of hectares of forests globally, the challenge of restoring these precious ecosystems becomes ever more pressing. The stakes are high: a staggering 95% of Earth's land could succumb to degradation by 2050. While the task might appear straightforward - simply plant millions of trees - the reality is far more perplexing. Haphazard tree-planting in unsuitable locations can wreak havoc on ecosystems and jeopardise the livelihoods of local communities.

The surge of interest in restoring forests has ushered in a wave of greenwashing, where deceptive environmental marketing and scientific mishaps undermine genuine efforts. Yet this new focus also brings forth a plethora of solutions and many rays of hope. Amidst such a landscape, cutting-edge science and Indigenous knowledge together can redefine our understanding in a way that not only helps regenerate nature but also allows human communities to thrive.

This original, topical and engaging book navigates the complex realm of forest restoration. It reveals how a nuanced approach is required - one that integrates the latest scientific advancements (for instance in microbial ecology, acoustic technology and epigenetics), Indigenous leadership and a holistic understanding of the interconnectedness of life within these vital ecosystems. Treewilding asks us to reflect on our relationship with trees and how we must see the woods (intricate social and ecological systems) for the wood (timber) - a realisation that is perhaps the biggest 'secret' to restoring nature.



Review Quotes




Treewilding effortlessly integrates current theories with fresh insights and consolidates strands of research into a coherent narrative that should encourage researchers to come up with better ways to help forests. It is an enlightening journey for anyone interested in the science of nature.



A wide-ranging look at our relationship with forests through time... an interesting read, generally non-technical and accessible, yet with enough content to satisfy the professional.



Engaging reading for anyone interested in the natural world... Highly recommended.



Fascinating...



For environmentalists, conservationists, urban planners, or anyone feeling the weight of biodiversity loss, Treewilding is an important and innovative contribution. It provides the intellectual framework necessary to approach forest restoration with the humility, rigour, and interconnected perspective that the immense challenge demands. It's an electrifying read that promises to change the way you see every tree.



In clear and enthusiastic prose, Robinson covers a diversity of topics including agroforestry, soil microorganisms, and the perils of greenwashing, with space left over for diverting forays into the 'wood wide web' controversy and plant cognition.



Jake has the knack of presenting complex information in a clear, understandable way... I ended the book with a renewed sense of awe for all that trees do for us and for the myriad opportunities they offer for a better future, if we choose to take them.
