"How Forests Think" (Eduardo Kohn)

"How Forests Think" by Eduardo Kohn explores how forests are not just collections of trees but complex, living communities where animals, plants, and environment communicate and interpret their surroundings. Kohn suggests that non-human species perceive and respond to their world in ways similar to human thought processes, creating a form of collective intelligence. This perspective challenges the idea of humans as separate from nature, highlighting the deep interconnectedness and ways of "thinking" that extend beyond human language, emphasizing that understanding nature requires listening to the subtle, non-verbal cues that bind ecosystems together.
