I'm reading Wandering Through Winter: A Naturalist's Record of a 20,000-Mile Journey Through the North American Winter by Edwin Way Teale, 1965. It's a quiet book of a couple driving through the American landscape, looking for birds, talking with naturalists. We have forgotten how much we have lost.
A three panel drawing. On the top it says 2020 and there are two small trees, three forbs, a squirrel, a floating plastic bag, and a few flies. In the middle it says 1950 and there are 3 diverse trees, many shrubs, deer, rabbits, hedgehogs, and four kinds of insects. On the bottom it says 1800, It's a lush dense diverse forest with many inhabitants.

Biodiversity hotspot alert! 🌿🐒 Tropical rainforests house 80% of the world's documented species—from elusive jaguars to 30 million insect varieties. Lose the forest, lose irreplaceable life. Congo & Amazon alone shelter 62% of terrestrial vertebrates. Unthinkable stakes.
