Everyone knows climate change is a problem.

But it's a problem for music too.

The Risoud Forest is a special place.

It's on the border between France and Switzerland.

High in the Jura mountains, there are some old trees.

These trees are perfect for making instruments, like guitars and violins.

But dry weather's changing the wood.

It isn't good for the instruments.

Francois Villard looks after the forest.

Risoud wood is excellent for making instruments.

It's because the forest is high in the mountains.

Theo Magnin finds the right trees.

For every 300 trees cut down, only one or two are usually good enough.

But Magnin's afraid of climate change.

Making instruments might become impossible.

The instrument makers tried different wood.

But Philippe Ramel's sure about one thing.

The best wood is from the Risoud Forest.
