Forests represent the largest green infrastructure worldwide, and their protection and enhancement are a responsibility of the whole Society, being a common good, linked to history and culture. The future of our planet depends on how we perceive, protect and manage this heritage. Forests are saved if they are at the center of society’s interest. Cultural awareness of the intrinsic value of forests is needed. We must recognize a new dimension of the forest, the cultural dimension, i.e. the culture of the forest as the basis for the alliance between man and nature.
