An Ecuadorian prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, Martin Solis achieves global renown by successfully trying the first case of “arbicide:” the deliberate destruction of forests as an act of ecocide. His opponent is the neo-Bolsonarist president of Brazil, a figure emblematic of deforestation as political ideology. Solis’s legal theory is rooted in the recognition of trees as sentient beings, capable of communication and worthy of rights. His work is aided by a technology he helps develop that allows humans to interface with trees, an invention that reframes humanity’s relationship with the natural world.
