The Buyback follows James Stanton-Cooke, co-founder of not-for-profit organisation Halfcut. Their mission is to purchase undeveloped land in the Lowland Daintree Rainforest and protect one of the world's last surviving ancient ecosystems. With more than half the world's forests lost to deforestation, time is running out. This fact is physically etched into James himself as he proudly wears half a beard in constant protest. We uncover the effect human habitation is having on this ecosystem and follow amazing individuals who are fighting against development pressures. There are tangible solutions to these issues, and through organisations like Halfcut everyone can help to protect and restore what's left of the world's oldest rainforest.
