In this talk, Ethan Tapper will draw from his work as a forester and author of "How to Love a Forest" to discuss what it means to care for forests and other ecosystems at this moment in time. How do we respond to the harmful legacies of the past? How do we use our species' power to heal? How do we reach toward a better future? In a time in which many believe that 'protecting' ecosystems means protecting them from ourselves, Ethan argues that humans must take action to help ecosystems heal and to move into a more abundant future.
