The loss of forests across earth has increased at alarming levels. Five hundred years ago, the Atlantic Forest in Brazil spanned 330 million acres - more than three times the size of California- and by the 1970s, 80 percent of the woodland had been lost. Environment Editor for The Times, Adam Vaughan is joined by entrepreneur and Rolex Awards for Enterprise Laureate Laury Cullen Jr to hear how he is building corridors of trees to help revive the Atlantic Forests unique biosphere.

This is Planet Hope, a new podcast from The Times in partnership with Rolex and its Perpetual Planet Initiative.
