The story of a Buddhist monk who in the 1990's started re-planting a forest that had been destroyed by US bombing during the Vietnam war, and logging companies thereafter. His interest at first was to create a place to meditate, but as time passed he started to realize that his forest could also help mitigate the effects of climate change on nearby farming communities.
