Nowadays, French forests have to cope with increasingly frequent and devastating wildfires. The deterioration of climatic conditions is not the only factor to blame: our relationship with the forest, once so personal, has gradually diminished. What was once the setting for our beliefs, rites and legends has become, at best, a pleasant landscape for picnics and hikes.
How can we restore this link? In a context where human presence is synonymous with danger, what would happen if we dared to bring humans back to the forest and turn them into guardians?
In Bormes-les-Mimosas, the Mont des Roses, tucked between the city and the Dom's national forest, appears to be a key site in the nature/culture dichotomy that characterizes our contemporary position: the place is scattered with highly flammable mimosas, yet it is untouchable by virtue of its cultural value.
Already burnt several times, the forest-turned-scrubland offers the possibility of a new way of inhabiting the place: water guides the inhabitants through the vegetation to the point of complete immersion. The watchtower, the site's new totem, keeps an eye on the forest and embodies a forgotten memory of the one that burned.

In Uganda's Bwindi National Park, humans share their territory with the gorilla, our close cousin in danger of extinction. In this case, the national park appears to be the last bastion of wildlife, often to the detriment of indigenous populations whose access to the forest has been brutally cut off. How can we manage the spaces where these two territories intersect: one is officially protected and closed off; the other is home to one of the highest population densities on the planet, which is subject to poverty and lack of resources? What form might such a boundary assume? After centuries of exploitation of a planet that mankind believed to be its own, is there still a privileged territory where men and wild animals cohabit as equals?
