  • An international team of scientists and explorers, lead by Dr Julian Bayliss, go on an extraordinary mission in Mozambique to reach a forest that no human has set foot in. The team, including some of the world’s foremost climate change experts, aims to collect data from the forest to help in our understanding of how climate change is affecting our planet. But the forest sits atop a mountain, and to reach it, the team must first climb a sheer 100m wall of rock. The scientists’ work is based on research conducted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.

      * conservation is not preservation... why do people keep confusing the two?
      also, it’s *Global Climate Destabilization, as warming , and thus the change, are secondary and thus proxy to..
      Just as well to point out, there’s no proof humans never set foot there. It generally can’t be gauged without in depth investigation...

      The first “climber” is also an Exxon employee. He is there to learn if there are any signs of oil there on that mountain.
      If so, as the first person up there, him who is representing Exxon will have dibs on the drilling rights.
      The rest of them are there to have Forrest orgies where no one else has done it before.

      Why “the youth”? We’re the ones who are going to have to watch the planet slowly start to cook us alive, because the older generation shoved all the consequences for their greed onto everyone else. We’re the ones who are trying to stem the tide, while the last vestiges of the older generation block us at every turn. We’re the ones who are screaming to “leave a better planet for our children” while the older generation seems to weirdly think they can take all the natural resources they’re brutally removing from the soil with them into the afterlife....
      Said afterlife isn’t coming fast enough to quell the aggressive greed of the older generations that, IMHO, would do better to have this shown to them. Because they’ve forgotten what is beautiful in this world.
      The younger generation has known all along.

    At the start of this film, I felt open and excited, but as it continued. . . It just made me feel sad. Sad to see an untouched part of the world, once again being "handled", cut into, extracted from for the benefit of humans. Species being treasure hunted to see how they might someday be exploited and have a name placed on them as if their 'discovery' somehow makes them official. I have always struggled to understand how and why anyone ever obtained the right to 'own' any piece of this beautiful planet. Don't get me wrong, I don't think those on the expedition have bad intention. How exciting would it be, and what an amazing opportunity, to see a part of the world untouched by humans? I just wonder. . . What is different now from the expeditions of the past. Often seems it's the "discoveries" that bring the masses. I pray for all the species that exist there that what has happened before doesn't happen there. Peace be on all of existence. 🕊

      Hmmm I think you might've misunderstood the overall cause. The amount that they trap and catch is a fraction of the population, especially for bugs. The research that they're doing is actually meant to be used towards preservation of that area! One of the ways to preserve this area is to document species population's that can potentially be harmed by human interference. If there's a new species, labeling it as endangered can vastly improve those chances. + studying the effects of climate change can lead to new environmental policies in favor of preserving our beautiful earth!

      Nah not from Africa. Likely a bunch of rock climbers from the UK, the usa or australia have been up there a few times.

      He was only going on the word of the locals who weren’t aware of anyone ever being there. Sure that’s not definitive proof, but the locals would know if a bunch of foreign rock climbers were in town to climb it.

      T.C. Thompson Some believe our planet is 350 billion years old, and they’re discovering lost civilizations all the time. We have no idea how many civilizations actually have disappeared. Just theories

    The lost forest is no longer lost if someone made a documentary of it.

      it's never really been lost.. just not worth it to go up there unless it's for science or exploring jungle.. which people who live near a jungle don't really have any want to do since it's a hellhole for humans. On camera it's beautiful but insects and predators everywhere that can easily kill a human in defense.

    I had tears in my eyes watching this wonderful film. What an amazing planet we live on, such spectacular beauty and marvellous people investigating all these wonders on our behalf. Thank you for uploading this precious footage and helping us to realise how truly blessed we are.

    It is sad that we can’t see earth for her beauty. Instead greed and fame fills the heart more. Smh
