International Year of the Forest | A Natural Selection

Splendor Awaits!

Visit Me! (If you dare...)
"To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall. Teach him something of natural history, and you place in his hands a catalogue of those which are worth turning around. Surely our innocent pleasures are not so abundant in this life, that we can afford to despise this or any other source of them."

Thomas Henry Huxley, On the Educational Value of the Natural History Sciences (1854).
From Collected Essays (1893). Vol. 3, 63.

International Year of the Forest

The UN has declared 2011 the International Year of the Forest. There is not much availaible on the UN website for educational purposes, but this video by Yann Arthus-Bertrand (maker of the stunning video HOME) is worthwhile watching.

Visit UNEP for audio visual materials, booklets and posters.
