Scientist and award-winning author Lauren E. Oakes shares stories from her new book, Treekeepers: The Race for a Forested Future (Basic Books, 2024).

Oakes tackles these questions by taking readers on a poetic and practical journey through the science behind and legitimacy of the global reforestation movement.
