Call to action for the forests
Pelican Magazine described Cry of the Forests as a “call to action for the forests”.
“Cry of the Forests shows how plainly illogical it is to allow the deforestation of native trees. The documentary touches on the economic disservice we do ourselves by allowing this industry to continue. By subsidising such an industry, we bypass potential avenues such as sustainable tree plantations, beekeeping, and eco-tourism. As the climate crisis materialises closer to the forefront of social consciousness, the destruction of ancient carbon sinks could not come at any worse a time.
“What this film captures so well, however, are the unsung passions of those fighting to protect these native forests. The people working tirelessly to stand in the way of bulldozers are those who hear the machines from their back yards. The local community comes together to call out the wasteful destruction, but their numbers – at present – are too small.”
