Než stromům dojde dech - Jak se stromy učí zvládat změnu klimatu a proč nás les zachrání, když mu to dovolíme – Wohlleben Peter (2021)

The book 'Before the Trees Run Out of Breath' is a love letter to trees and simultaneously a call to finally start protecting nature and caring for its endless diversity, even though we have not yet fully understood its interconnectedness. And also a way to understand that we do this in our own interest. TREES CAN EASILY GET BY WITHOUT PEOPLE, BUT WE CANNOT GET BY WITHOUT TREES. Even if we bring the planet to the brink of destruction due to climate change, trees would be able to return under any circumstances. Even after periods of drought, devastating fires, extensive windfalls, and devastation caused by human activity, they will grow back. In this gripping yet critical book, Peter Wohlleben directly follows up on his bestseller 'The Hidden Life of Trees' (KAZDA 2016). On one hand, he describes the latest findings about the life of trees and their ability to learn and respond to climate change. At the same time, he does not overlook the limitations of some economic and political entities that often plant trees solely for timber extraction or to create a positive media image, thus exploiting nature. However, intensively managed spruce plantations will certainly not prevent the overheating of the planet.
