The book Before the Trees runs away, the confession of love is to trees and at the same time a challenge to finally begin to protect nature and take care of its infinite variety, even though we have not yet fully understood its interconnection. And also on the way to understand that we do it in our own interest. Trees can easily do without people, but we without trees not even if we bring the planet to the brink of destruction because of climate change, the trees would be able to return in all circumstances. Even after periods of drought, devastating fires, extensive half and devastation of human activities, they will grow again. In the stunning and critical book Peter Wohlleben directly follows his bestseller secret life of the tree (Kazda 2016). On the one hand, it depicts the latest knowledge of the revival of trees and their ability to learn and respond to climate change. At the same time, they do not forget the limitation of some economic and political entities that often plant trees only because of wood mining or create a positive media image, and thus exploit nature. But intensely managed spruce plantations overheating the planet will certainly not prevent.
