Why we need forests that have never been touched by humans

KERA's Think

When it comes to forest management, who’s the better steward: foresters or Mother Nature herself? Joan Maloof is the founder and director of the Old-Growth Forest Network and she joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the role old-growth forests play in the ecosystem and the different approaches that are being taken to saving them. Her book is “Nature’s Temples: A Natural History of Old-Growth Forests.”
