Refugia poetically recounts the science of environmental habitats that for millennia facilitated the survival of organisms and tells us how today, in these times of transition, their protection is key for the future. The film takes place in Japan, in the mystical island of Yakushima, where ancestral forests contain some of the world’s oldest living trees.
