In a new essay collection called The Global Forest, Beresford-Kroeger writes that trees are sacred.
She told Anne Strainchamps that the lives of trees and humans are interrelated all the way down to the most basic molecular level.
Diana: Well, they are sister molecules working together, as a matter of fact, they're both designed by the genome.

For you and I, the hemoglobin is an important oxygen
