« And here's a marginal scoop. You can wait for it to be confirmed. A forest knows things. Trees connect underground. There are brains down there that our brains aren't programmed to perceive. That solve problems, that make decisions. The plasticity of the roots, the fungal synapses. What else can I call it? If you connect enough trees, the forest becomes conscious. »

« We now know that trees communicate and have memory. They taste, they smell, they touch, they can even see and hear. We, the species that discovered this, we have learned so much about these beings with whom we share the world. We are beginning to understand the deep links between trees and humans. But our separation grew faster than our connection. »
