Birds of paradise crack me up. I mean, look at them dance. I wish humans courted in the same way. Just imagine what fun we’d have.
And their forests, their homes… what a paradise. What a shame for us as a species if it were to disappear. What a shame for us as a species if we’re killing out the species that live there, the beauty that lies there in mystery, the indigenous communities that thrive with the forest and make it thrive.
Thank you for your work. I hope the birds keep dancing for you.
Living in Central Europe where the effect of human presence for many thousands of years had already minimised biodiversity, I feel an extra urge to keep the most biodiverse habitats
