Fantastic ARTE documentary about the dark side and dangerous negative impacts of global tree planting & carbon credit programs, in reality often PR frauds/distractions, relying on lack of regulation & scientific errors, amounting to nothing more than clear cutting existing mature forests, replacing them with fast growing monocultures (mostly Eucalyptus or Douglas firs) for future logging activity, handing out subsidies to the forestry industry and displacing indigenous people/ecosystems... The film also covers various alternative approaches and activism projects for more sustainability and resilience...
Available in French & German (I wish ARTE would also offer English versions for a much larger audience...)
