On Saturday, March 2, 2024, author and forester Peter Wohlleben will come to the Blue Sofa at Theater Gütersloh to present his new book "Unser wildes Erbe" (Ludwig). In conversation with presenter Tarkan Bagci, Peter Wohlleben will take his audience on a journey of discovery into the mysterious cosmos of human nature.
How does a tree work? Who owns the forest? Can trees communicate? – Peter Wohlleben, born in 1964, wanted to become a conservationist even as a small child. He studied forestry and was a civil servant in the state forestry administration for over twenty years. He is a guest on numerous TV programs, gives lectures and seminars and is the author of books on forestry and nature conservation. His bestsellers „The Hidden Life Of Trees,” „The Inner Life Of Animals,” „The Secret Wisdom of Nature,” „The Heartbeat of Trees: Embracing Our Ancient Bond with Forests and Nature” and „The Power Of Trees” have inspired people all over the world. In 2019, he was awarded the Bavarian Nature Conservation Medal for his emotional and unconventional sharing of knowledge. 350,000 people watched the eponymous 2020 film based on his book „The Hidden Life of Trees.”

In his new book „Unser Wildes Erbe” (Our Wild Legacy) Peter Wohlleben explores the question of how it can be that humans, as the supposedly most highly developed beings on this planet, are destroying their own habitat, and provides fascinating insights into the true nature of humans. Using many astonishing comparisons with the animal and plant world, he shows we are not the pinnacle of creation, but are still subject to evolution.
Tarkan Bagci was born in Bielefeld in 1995. During his studies in Münster, he worked as a local journalist and then as a comedy writer. He has co-written and/or co-developed numerous award-winning television formats, including Neo Magazin Royale and Knallerfrauen.

In 2021, he published his debut novel „Die Erfindung des Dosenöffners” (The Invention Of The Can Opener), which went straight to No.19 on the Spiegel bestseller list.
