Le film: Forêts urbaines/ Urban Forests (Bilingual movie, includes interviews with ENG/FR speakers) 95 min
Si les espaces verts ont longtemps été laissés pour compte dans les villes, une mobilisation citoyenne permet depuis plusieurs années de retrouver les effets bénéfiques des forêts urbaines. Explorant différents projets innovants de restauration de la nature dans des villes canadiennes, Forêts urbaines agit comme un véritable antidote au pessimisme en nous montrant que la solution écologique est plus proche qu’il n’y paraît.
Green spaces have long been neglected in our cities, but in recent years, grassroots mobilization has helped us rediscover the beneficial effects of urban forests. Exploring innovative nature-restoration projects in cities across Canada, Urban Forests is nothing less than an antidote to pessimism, proving that solutions to environmental challenges are closer than we think.
