“Natural forests are not only essential to offset our carbon footprint, but they are also a place of wonder, crucial for our mental health, and part of our cultural heritage,” shared photographer and #NatGeoExplorer Sarah Pabst (_sarahpabst_).

“Countless myths, images, stories and poems deal with the forest. My project is a visual exploration of the fragility of our ecosystem and our own vulnerability, but also a call against the ongoing destruction of the environment and the urgent need for policy change. By evoking our emotional connection to the forest, I wish for us to remember, to connect, and, therefore, to act and protect.”
