A Powerful Memoir of Healing the World, One Rainforest at a Time "EMPOWERING...KINARI WEBB IS AN INSPIRATION." --BILL MCKIBBEN "A WONDERFUL BOOK." --JANE GOODALL In this timely and hopeful memoir, Kinari Webb takes us on an exhilarating journey across the world, sharing her passion for the natural world and humanity. When Webb first traveled to Indonesian Borneo at 21 to study orangutans, she was awestruck by the beauty of her surroundings and heartbroken by the rainforest destruction she witnessed. She soon realized that the local communities' need to pay for expensive healthcare led directly to the rampant logging, imperiling their health and safety even further. After graduating from the Yale School of Medicine, Webb returned to Borneo, listening to local communities about their solutions for protecting the rainforests and improving their lives. Founding two non-profits, Health in Harmony and ASRI, Webb and her teams partnered with rainforest communities, building a clinic, developing regenerative economies, providing education, and dramatically transforming the region. But just when everything was going right, a deadly box jellyfish sting left Webb fighting for her life, leading her to rethink everything. Was she ready to expand her work globally and take on climate change head-on? Guardians of the Trees is an essential roadmap for moving forward and an inspiring story of one woman's quest to heal the world at the intersection of medicine and conservation.
