[HIGHLIGHTS] Kimmerer, botanist: “In mosses there is a network of life as complex as that of a tropical forest”

Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses is now translated into Spanish. Author Robin Wall Kimmerer is a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation.

She believes humans should learn from these plants that “build biodiversity” The idea of asking permission to harvest moss is tied to the indigenous concept of the world, she says, and does not belong to the fact that the world is not about the world. The book is published by Simon & Schuster and is out now in Spanish.
