"Lisa Röstlund's reportage is an ax cut right into the Swedish people's soul." Today's news
In Skogslander of Sweden, a battle is going on. Biologists sound the alarm: the last real forests are disappearing – soon only clearings and plantations will remain. Forest companies and other researchers say the opposite: we have never had as much forest as now. And in the midst of a burning climate and biodiversity crisis, there is deep disagreement about how the forest should be used to best meet and contribute to solving it. When journalist Lisa Röstlund examines one of the fateful questions of our time, she steps down into the trenches and exposes the consequences of the war. She finds secret documents and meets scared people who only dare to speak anonymously, but also those who choose to speak openly. About suicide. About death threats between neighbors. About established and reputable researchers being bullied. And about scientists who forge plans together with industry. The review is woven into her everyday life and raises difficult questions.
