STORIES OF
FORESTS CHANGING
THE WORLD
A wonderful journey to discover the ways in which trees know how to adapt to climate change, how they know how to solve the problem of water shortage, how they know how to return and be reborn after a fire and even how they know how to move hundreds of kilometres. A journey at the end of which looking at a tree will never be the same again.

GIORGIO
VACCHIANO
Researcher of Forest Planning and Silviculture at the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences of the State University of Milan, Giorgio Vacchiano is among the eleven emerging scientists in the world out of 500 profiles assessed by the Nature Index. His work focuses on forest management, the resilience of forests to climate change, and the study of the consequences of fires and other ‘natural disturbances’ on Italian and European temperate forests. He is the scientific curator, together with Elisabetta Donati de Conti, of the first edition of ‘Earthrise. Design for a living planet’, the annual festival that the Circolo del Design in Turin dedicates to the relationship between design and environmental sustainability.
