Can Ancient Wisdom Save the Forests?

Around the world, forests are in trouble. Thanks to climate change and modern logging practices, they are being harvested faster than we can replenish them. It’s a critical problem of our modern age, but some believe traditional knowledge could be the answer.

An indigenous community in Wisconsin is setting an example for a better way. Host Baratunde Thurston journeys into the Menominee nation, where hundreds of thousands of acres of forest are tended according to ancient traditions. And those traditions have guided the local logging industry for generations.

Can the Menominee's sustainable practices be adopted elsewhere? Discover the wisdom of their timeless approach to logging, the unique culture that sustains it, and why outside visitors are coming to study the Menominee way.
