The theme of trees is transversal. Trees play a fundamental ecological role, both for the birds they feed or shelter and for the quality of the atmosphere or the landscapes they help to preserve. Trees play an important social and economic role. They offer people the opportunity to meet, enjoy a little shade or admire the leaves. They provide us with wood, fruit, seeds, oil and even paper. More than a billion people depend directly on forests for their survival.
It is fascinating to note that, although man has always been interested in trees, they are now beginning to reveal their secrets. Long considered as mere merchandise, as a source of income in the form of furniture, they are now revealing their capacity for communication, surprising ecological abilities and numerous useful virtues for man and the rest of the living beings in general that inhabit our planet.
