Forests That Breathe

Transcript

Host

Welcome back to Climate Domino. Today I'm joined by Kenji Watanabe to talk about old-growth forests. Thanks so much for being here.

Kenji Watanabe

Thank you for having me. It's a conversation I care deeply about, and I think more people are ready for it than we assume.

Host

Let's start at the beginning. What first pulled you into this work?

Kenji Watanabe

Honestly, it was a place. I grew up near water and land that changed visibly within my lifetime. Once you notice that, you can't un-notice it.

Host

And what gives you hope right now?

Kenji Watanabe

People. Local groups, scientists, farmers, kids — the solutions are already out there. Our job is to connect them and scale them.

Host

That's a beautiful place to pause. Where can listeners learn more?

Kenji Watanabe

Start in your own neighbourhood. Find who's already doing the work and show up.
