WRM releases five short videos which shows why industrial tree plantations are not forests.
The first one is about the impacts of large-scale tree plantations in general. The other remaining four focus on specific topics: oil palm plantations, pulpwood plantations, impacts on water and certifications.
The videos are available in two formats:
- On the WRM YouTube cannel, to share on web sites, social networks, via e-mail, etc.
- Versions in low resolution to download and share via WhatsApp and Telegram and for use in locations with slow Internet connection.

On the 21st of March, International Day of the Forests, the FAO has launched another nice video. This year the video is about forests and water. Did you notice the video does not include any monoculture tree plantations, even though FAO considers them as forests? How would look such a video if coherent with FAO´s forest definition?
This two-minutes video is a rebuttal of the one-minute video produced by FAO for International Day of Forests.
The video aims to challenge the FAO video for March 21, which narrowly and erroneously views forests as if they were a “storage facility” for wood and carbon.
