Mittermeier, Tilman Jaeger and Brendan Mackey, published by Conservation International, U.S. in hardcover (283 pages, bilingual Spanish-English edition).
The work examines the planet's primary forests, from tropical to boreal, and advocates for their priority conservation as a refuge for biodiversity and a carbon reserve. It documents the threats they face, such as industrial agriculture, mining and logging, and explains the natural services they provide, such as freshwater supply and the sustenance of hundreds of millions of people. With large-format photographs, the authors also underscore their role as an essential seed bank for future reforestation.
