Forests. Much more than a lot of trees
This video gathers some testimonies on what the forest mean to peoples living with the forests.
For those communities, forests are much more than just a lot of trees. But following FAO's definition, governments and corporations are replacing forests with monoculture tree plantations, destroying forests
and destroying the livelihoods of the communities that live with the forests.

Plantation Trees and Water Use Part 1 and Part 2
This documentary is a GeaSphere / EcoDoc Africa collaboration. Plantations use significant amounts of water and South Africa is an arid country. In this documentary Arthur Chapman from One World Sustainable Investments (previously CSIR) takes us on a tour and shares with us the background of seventy years of hydrological research in the Jonkershoek Valley and how the paired catchment experiments work, and how much water trees really use. The intention of the documentary is educational, and to be used as a platform for further discussions.
“The
Story of Cap and Trade”
A a fast-paced, fact-filled look at the leading climate solution
- emissions trading - on the negotiating table at Copenhagen
and in other capitals. Host Annie Leonard introduces the energy
traders and Wall Street financiers at the heart of this scheme
and reveals the "devils in the details" in current
cap and trade proposals: free permits to big polluters, fake
offsets and distraction from what's really required to tackle
the climate crisis. If you've heard about Cap &' Trade,
but aren't sure how it works (or who benefits), this is the
film is for you Please spread the word on social networking

The Carbon Hunters.
On the trail of the climate's hottest commodity
In a remote corner of Brazil's Atlantic coast, they say time is a fiction. This ancient forest is seemingly unspoiled by modern life -- beyond the reach of men, machines, and markets.
But a closer look reveals something very different happening here. Reported by Mark Schapiro, produced by Andres Cediel & co-produced by Daniela Broitman.

Toilet
Exploitation - Brazil
Much of Europe's toilet paper and tissues come from Eucalyptus
plantations in Brazil. But indigenous tribes claim their land
is being stolen to make way for these plantations.
"This is a fight to recover our territory", states
the tribal chief. He claims the cellulose manufacturer, Aracruz,
seized their land in violation of Brazil's constitution. "We've
lost our healthy lifestyle. Since the eucalyptus trees invaded
our village, everything else has been smothered." November

Tribes - by Survival, the Movement for Tribal People
Over one hundred tribes around the world choose to reject contact
with outsiders. They are the most vulnerable peoples on the
planet. Many of them
are living on the run, fleeing invasions of their land by colonists,
loggers, oil crews and cattle ranchers. They have often seen
their friends and families die at the hands of outsiders, in
unreported massacres or epidemics. This is their story, narrated
by Julie Christie
