mixed forests with the diversity of species are rare in france and that's also true of germany almost 40 years ago when i went to university we were already being taught as the best forests are mixed forests with a variety of species today we've only managed to accomplish that in 2.6 percent of our forests in school that would get you have bailing. it's a scandal really a massive policy failure it is just. it's no different here in south central france but susana and pierre are determined to do things differently. from what i see a little this thought of woodland is basically what we're trying to achieve it's rich diverse and nature is renewing itself just. as all sides are just and if we had really nice diversity here multi layered with many different phases of growth and decaying there's plenty of woody debris and lots of micro habitats and i'm proud of this i used my expertise to help kick off this process and nature did the rest. for what this is what a forest should look like and i'm a member of greenpeace and we're fighting against the forestation and illegal timber and point th
