The climate change is shaking the balance of the ecosystems. Whitin the Alpine forests its effects are two times greater than in the other environments. For this reason Giorgio Vacchiano, a scientist who studies trees, decides to return to his childhood woods, in the Aosta Valley. Thus begins Giorgio's journey through the Alpine forest, looking for the keys to understanding the deep changes happening in that territory.
Giorgio's research has a fundamental goal: to develop strategies in order to help the forest to fight against the effects of the climate change. To save the trees, indeed, means saving humanity.

The bearded vulture is the mythical bird of the Pyrenees. Half eagle, half vulture, it is known for its greatest hallmark, it feeds on bones. This bird was on the verge of extinction in the 1970s in Spain and only a few pairs remained in the Aragonese Pyrenees. Given the extreme situation, in 1994, the "Plan for the recovery of the Bearded Vulture" was launched, a project that has managed to bring these majestic birds back to the skies.
