Of course, there are more than just trees and fungi in a forest; a forest is a complex ecosystem of diverse flora and fauna. Simard says <strong>we can think of the larger forest ecosystems as similar to human societies. They\u2019re complex, self-organizing, and adaptive. And, importantly, she says they are <em>intelligent<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because ecosystems operate similarly to human societies, this could explain why we find a prevailing paradigm of competition in the modern scientific worldview and a paradigm of <em>cooperation<\/em> in the traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/indigenous-worldviews\/\">indigenous worldview<\/a>. Each paradigm is modeled after the society within which it develops.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simard points out that<strong> objectifying nature, thinking of humans as separate from it (and even above it) is a modern Western construct and reflective of a colonialist mindset. <\/strong>First Nations tribes of the region had a symbiotic relationship with the land and existed entirely <em>within<\/em> these forest ecological communities, rather than viewing them from the outside. She ties all of this into the pressing issue of climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Climate change, she argues, is occurring in large part because of human activities, and these activities are the product of a mindset that has moved away from viewing nature as living, sentient, and sacred, toward a mindset that can\u2019t even imagine trees as sentient beings that have relationships. This, Simard argues, needs to change. <strong>Only when we recognize the forests as alive and intelligent will we have the wisdom to recognize that we must honor them because our lives depend on it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Should Trees Have Rights?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea that humans have an inherent right to dominate forest ecosystems can be connected to the<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full\/10.1177\/0096340215599789\"> Christian notion of God giving humans \u201cdominion\u201d over the Earth<\/a>. Alternatively, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbu.edu\/about\/green-initiative\/biblical-foundations.htm#:~:text=Christian%20environmental%20stewardship%2C%20also%20known,and%20exists%20to%20glorify%20Him.\">some Christians consider humans \u201cstewards\u201d of God\u2019s creation<\/a>. However, this still sets humans apart from nature and puts us at the top of a paternalistic kind of hierarchy. This perspective is being increasingly challenged by research like Simard\u2019s as well as by environmental movements, like the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gaiaschoolofhealing.com\/gaiaschool-blog\/2017\/8\/17\/the-deep-ecology-movement#:~:text=Deep%20ecology%20is%20a%20practice,to%20all%20that%20surrounds%20us.\">deep ecology<\/a>\u201d movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>While the idea that trees have intelligence is still controversial in the scientific community, it\u2019s by no means a new idea.<\/strong> In <a href=\"http:\/\/www.markaronson1.com\/earthpeople.htm\"><em>The Earth People Philosophy<\/em><\/a>, Lakota elder Wallace Black Elk said in 1991 to anthropologist William S. Lyons: \u201cThe trees talk. They have a language of their own. So all this green that you see, they communicate\u2026each one of the winged-people has a song\u2026.every creature has a song. Even that spider\u2026he walks, he rolls, he flies, and he sings a song\u2026.so I want to tell you that you have a lot to learn.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;In a 1972 book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.environmentandsociety.org\/mml\/should-trees-have-standing-law-morality-and-environment\"><em>Should Trees Have Standing<\/em>?<\/a> environmental scholar Christopher Stone proposed the idea that trees, oceans, rivers, and other nonhuman living beings in forest ecosystems should have legal personhood and all the protections that entails. Considering what we now know about plant life, perhaps it\u2019s time to revisit that question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a forest ecosystem?
