These actions and manifestations are not about finding and arguing for one truth, it is more about searching for a core, a channel of intuitive knowing: to sense a place and to understand certain keys of complexity and biodiversity. I want to challenge knowledge-production as a format that does not reach those people with a deep knowledge of the land. By this, I mean people who communicate daily with soil or natural landscapes, farmers, fishermen, caretakers of forests, artists, craftspeople, and the elderly living in the rural landscape. Media of knowledge production is centered in and around our major cities and, therefore, much knowledge comes from an urban perspective. When speaking about ecosystems in forests there is a very complex advanced system that cannot have been built by us, and much of it cannot be fully understood by humans as we are in our own perspective and we have our own gaze. We cannot know the forest as it is, in itself.
